BRAND DISCOVERY_

Looking for insights that actually drive change? Let’s get one thing straight – guesswork isn’t in my toolkit. With 14 years of experience, a degree in Sociology, and the investigative skills of a trained journalist, I bring the kind of in-depth research that makes a real difference for purpose-driven brands.

I dig deep, using qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover the real stories, emotions, and motivations that lie beneath the surface. From recruiting participants who represent the voices you need to hear, to leading insightful interviews, surveys, and focus groups, I gather the information that fuels mission-driven work. Because when you truly understand your audience, you can create campaigns, initiatives, and strategies that resonate and inspire real impact.

But research is only as valuable as the story it tells. My journalistic approach means I go beyond the data to craft compelling narratives and strategies that speak directly to your mission. These insights are designed to inspire action, guide decisions, and keep your brand or cause focused on what truly matters.

If you’re ready to put real insight behind your strategy, let’s work together to turn knowledge into meaningful change. Reach out, and let’s talk research that delivers.

BRAND STRATEGY_

If all eyes are on your brand, what would people say? A brand isn’t just a logo or a tagline – it’s a perception. It’s the impression people have, the values they associate with you, and the story they tell others about your mission. For progressive brands and charities striving for social or environmental change, knowing exactly what you stand for is not just beneficial; it’s essential.

In a crowded market where values matter more than ever, if you’re struggling to articulate your brand’s purpose or find the words that resonate with your audience, I’m here to help you lay down the core foundations of a strategy that speaks truthfully and powerfully. Together, we’ll craft a brand identity that not only captures your essence but also drives engagement and inspires action.

With a strong brand strategy, you’ll not only clarify your vision but also inspire and mobilise your audience. Let’s build a foundation that empowers your mission and drives real change, one message at a time. Reach out, and let’s get started.

Words are powerful – when you use them right. My copywriting service isn’t about churning out clichés or empty fluff. It’s about crafting bold, meaningful content that cuts through the noise and resonates with the people who matter to your brand.

Whether you’re looking to champion a cause, rally your community, or make your brand unforgettable, I’ll help you create a voice that’s authentic, fresh, and unmistakably *you*.

That’s a steady flow of smart, engaging copy tailored to your mission – whether it’s boosting your visibility, building loyalty, or driving change.
