Description

I have been positioning, shaping and advancing brands for 13 years now - 6 of which I have worked as an independent brand and communication consultant and creative thinker with a passion for substantiating brands with a powerful purpose and meaningful storytelling, always being rooted in the current zeitgeist, consumer insights and brand heritage. In order to move the world forward, brands need to be brave enough to question and disrupt the status quo and break with often rigid market conventions to get heard and be able to revolutionise entire industries.

I am especially interested in sustainability projects and visionary brands with a value-adding purpose in this world.

WHY do you as a brand exist?
