I'm Kei. I work in naming and brand strategy. Have for about a decade.
Most people treat a name like a task. Get it done, move on. That's usually fine until it isn't. Names become load-bearing faster than anyone expects. They end up on contracts, products, job postings, legal filings. By the time you know it's wrong, changing it is expensive.
Naming looks like a creative problem. Pick something that sounds good. Maybe a bit clever. But that's not what makes a name work. What makes a name work is whether it's defensible. Whether it can own a position. Whether it rules the right things in and the right things out. That's a strategic problem, not an aesthetic one.
I've worked at Ogilvy and FutureBrand and inside British American Tobacco. The useful thing about that mix isn't the variety. It's that you see the same decisions get made in very different contexts and start to notice which ones hold and which ones don't.
I do naming, brand strategy, and verbal identity - taglines, messaging, positioning.
I work with founders and teams on early brand decisions and rebrands. If that's you, feel free to reach out.

If you've found me, you've probably seen lots of promises out there as well so let's keep things simple. With 8 years as an Ad Creative Strategist and Email Strategist, my love for storytelling melds with a keen eye for conversion – not just pretty pictures. I believe in letting my proven track record speak volumes, so feel free to scroll down to see some of my work and the kind reviews from my clients.
Throughout my career, I've collaborated with global brands such as Volvo, Boots, IBM, the British Army, MoneyNetInt, and Ryze Superfoods, among others.
My mission is simple: to give brands like yours creative work that slice through the everyday clutter. I've studied Business Informatics and mixing that with the deep experience I have, I thrive by engaging both hemispheres of my brain. I merge analytical and strategic thinking with aesthetic finesse and persuasive copywriting, deeply rooted in psychological triggers.
💬 Here’s a snippet from one of the testimonials that exemplify the experience you can expect:
"I've been working with and hiring folks on Upwork for more than 5 years, and I can safely say that Chantal is one of the most impressive people I've ever been fortunate enough to work with. We hired her as a fractional / part-time creative director and she completely changed how we think about creative strategy within the company. She was part of our team meetings each week and got us into really good shape from a creative strategy perspective. Chantal is a relentless project manager, kept the whole team on a tight timeline and has a talented eye for design. We were fortunate to get to work with her, and I'm super excited to see what she decides to spend her time on next. If you're trying to decide whether nor to work with Chantal, quit being a dummy and hire her already :)"

The two-second version of me:
I help founder-led brands bring clarity to their positioning and translate that into strategic social content that works, not just looks good.
The longer sit-down version of me:
Most founders know their business inside out, but their social media feels unclear, inconsistent, or doesn't actually reflect who they are.
That's the problem I solve. I don't start with content, I start with clarity.
-Who are you?
-Who do you serve?
-What makes you different?
Once we nail that, everything else (the content, the captions, the strategy) becomes clear and effective.
What makes me different:
I don't chase trends or promise viral growth. I build strategic social presence grounded in your brand truth. I help founders show up authentically, whether that's on camera, in writing, or through their brand's voice, so their audience actually connects with them.
What I bring to the table:
🧭 Brand Clarity First; I help you define your positioning, messaging, and content pillars before we create anything. Strategy drives everything.
🎯 Founder-Led Strategy; I specialize in helping founders get comfortable showing up on social in a way that feels authentic, not forced.
📊 Strategy + Execution; I don't just hand you a plan and disappear. I develop the strategy, create the content (carousels, reels, campaigns), manage the posting, and optimize based on what's actually working.
🎨 Content That Reflects Your Brand; Everything I create is tailored to your voice, your audience, and your goal, not generic templates.
My background:
I've worked with beauty, wellness, fitness, and lifestyle brands for 4+ years, from strategy and content planning to execution, optimization, and reporting. I'm comfortable working inside structured agency workflows with approvals, timelines, and multiple stakeholders, but I also design content myself when needed and coordinate with photographers, videographers, and designers.
I focus on what matters: reach quality, engagement patterns, content performance, and how your audience actually responds, not vanity metrics.
How I work:
I work with fewer clients so I can deliver strategic depth, not just volume.
I start by understanding your brand, audience, and competitors. Then I define clear content pillars and build monthly calendars that balance creativity with performance.
I don't rely on recycled trends. I focus on original angles that fit your brand and platform.
I'm organized, detail-oriented, and I flag issues early rather than letting them grow. I like clarity, ownership, and direct communication.
Let's work together if:
✅ You're a founder-led brand (beauty, wellness, lifestyle, or similar)
✅ You value strategy over shortcuts
✅ You want someone who understands your brand AND executes
✅ You're ready to build consistent, authentic social presence

I help brands grow real, engaged audiences on Instagram and TikTok, not just post consistently, but actually figure out why some content works and rebuild strategy around it.
A proof point: I took a wellness creator's account from 95K to 200K followers over about a year and a half by rebuilding the content strategy around sharper hooks and tighter alignment between what we posted and what was actually converting.
✅ 6+ years across agency and independent freelance work
✅ Industries: wellness, coaching, SaaS, fintech, hospitality, tourism
What I own end-to-end:
📱 Content strategy, hooks, and scripts built around your actual brand voice
🎨 Design and video editing (Canva, CapCut) — nothing outsourced, nothing templated
📅 Scheduling and consistency (ContentStudio, Later, Buffer)
📊 Monthly reporting that tells you what to repeat, what to kill, and why
I work with founder-led brands and small teams who want someone who owns the whole picture. Not just a poster, a strategist who executes.

I've spent the last 7+ years helping brands cut through the noise on social media, backed by a Master's Degree in Digital Marketing & Social Media, and grounded in real accounts, real audiences, and real results.
I work across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and Google My Business, and I don't treat them the same way. Each platform has its own rhythm, its own audience, its own rules for what actually works.
Some days that means building a content strategy from scratch. Other days it's digging into an account audit to figure out why growth stalled, or getting hands-on with analytics to shape what we do next.
I collaborate with influencers, engage directly with audiences, and stay close to the numbers, because strategy only means something if it's grounded in what's actually happening.
If you're ready to move past "post and hope" and want a strategy built around actual outcomes, let's talk.
