Hi, I’m Robin. ▪️ Award winning brand strategist and marketeer ▪️ MBA from Brunel University ▪️30+ years in marketing and consulting ▪️Helping businesses and independent professionals create brands with substance. Brand strategy is positioning, not logos, colors, typography, and design. Individuals and businesses come to me to define and articulate the core DNA and identity of their brands. Only once positioning is clear, can we translate that into a clear visual identity and relevant marketing, messaging, and content strategies. Without clear brand positioning, businesses struggle to differentiate themselves. Marketing is fractured and inconsistent, messaging is off the mark, and the consumer is left with more questions than answers about your brand. By analyzing your competitors and defining your audience segments, I’ll help you build a differentiated strategic foundation, sharpen your positioning, voice, and value proposition, and create clarity across every customer touchpoint. My approach blends decades of proven thinking and practical experience with modern technologies to balance strategic rigor and logic with commercial grounded creative thinking and ideas. My experience comes from working on global and local brands across a broad range of industries including personal brands, automotive, technology, retail, healthcare, media, consulting, engineering, financial services, energy, real estate, professional services, nutrition, and distribution. I’ve worked with Upwork clients in the US, Canada, Uruguay, UK, Dubai, Netherlands, India, and South Africa. MY OFFERING: ◼️BRAND STRATEGY: ▪️ Brand audits and situational analysis ▪️ Competitive analysis ▪️ Audience segmentation ▪️ Brand architecture ◼️BRAND BLUEPRINT™ Development: ▪️ Brand DNA: Purpose, Vision, Mission, Values, Positioning ▪️ Brand Identity: Archetypes, Personality, Promise & Essence, Tonality & Voice, Value Proposition ◼️BRAND ASSET DEVELOPMENT: ▪️ Business, brand and product naming ▪️ Brand taglines ▪️ Strategic messaging frameworks & Brand voice checklist ▪️ Brand Stories ▪️ Visual identity, website, and creative direction ◼️MARKETING STRATEGY: ▪️ Marketing strategies and communication plans ▪️ Funnel and channel strategies ▪️ Content strategies ▪️ Copywriting and website content ▪️ Email marketing ▪️ Thought leadership strategies ▪️ LinkedIn profiling and content strategies The goal is always the same: Create brands with substance that connect more meaningfully with their audience and build long-term business value. Brand In a Box™ will help you create your own Brand Blueprint and Messaging framework for a fraction of the price. This still includes some free hours of my time to guide you and make sure you get the desired outcome. See my profile below. I am happy to work on a fixed fee or hourly basis, whichever works out best for you. If you’re looking for a strategic partner to help clarify, position, build, or grow your brand, I’d love to have a free discovery call. Best, Robin
