SENIOR BRAND STRATEGY SUPPORT FOR AGENCIES.

A lime green upward arrow with a loop in the middle, pointing to the upper right.

If you’re a digital, creative or marketing agency that needs experienced brand strategy support — without the overhead of a permanent hire — I can plug in as your freelance brand strategy partner.

I work alongside agencies to shape strategy, align stakeholders and create clear direction that creative teams can actually execute. Whether you need support behind the scenes or client-facing facilitation, I’m comfortable in both.

HOW I WORK WITH AGENCIES

Think of me as the strategy layer that helps your projects run smoother and land stronger.

  • Lead or support brand strategy projects end-to-end

  • Step in for research, workshops, positioning and messaging

  • Build the strategic backbone for identity, campaigns, websites and launches

  • Translate complexity into clear, usable outputs for creative and delivery teams

You keep the relationship and the creative lead. I bring the clarity, structure and decision-making support that keeps projects moving.

I bring 25 years senior brand and marketing experience across large-scale brands and fast-moving environments, a Masters in Business (Marketing) plus the practical mindset needed to work with agencies and clients who want momentum (not theatre).

What you can expect from me:

  • Down-to-earth, direct collaboration

  • Strong facilitation and stakeholder management

  • Strategic thinking that’s grounded in commercial reality

  • Deliverables that are clear, usable, and ready for the next team
