§ 02 / What I do

Three disciplines, one argument: strategy only matters once it lands in the real world.

+Fractional CMO

Senior marketing leadership without the full-time hire. Positioning, team structure, pipeline, and the hard calls that founders tend to postpone.

+Creative strategy

Narrative, positioning, and campaign thinking. The work of deciding what a brand should say, to whom, and why it should matter now.

+Experiential marketing

Launches, activations, and events that put people inside the story. Strategy you can walk through.

§ 05 / Recent thinking

Most marketing problems aren't marketing problems.

August is the most honest month in branding

When the noise stops, what a brand does in the quiet says more than any campaign. August strips away the activity and leaves only the substance.

Hot brand summer is a loan, not a strategy

Every summer a colour, a song, a format goes hot and brands rush to stand in its light. Borrowed relevance feels like momentum. It's debt.

Most marketing problems aren't marketing problems

They're decisions that were postponed, reframed, or never properly made. The job, most days, is to help someone make the decision.
