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

I help businesses understand how customers perceive their brand and turn those insights into clearer positioning, stronger messaging, and more confident brand decisions. Whether you're launching a new business, refining your brand, or looking for opportunities to stand out, I provide research-driven insights that help you better understand your audience, competitors, and market. Most clients work with me when they: → Need a fresh perspective on their brand → Want to understand how customers actually see their business → Feel their messaging isn't connecting → Need research before making branding or marketing decisions → Want to identify opportunities to differentiate from competitors **What I specialize in:** ✓ Brand Positioning ✓ Consumer Insights ✓ Market Research ✓ Competitor Analysis ✓ Audience Research ✓ Messaging & Value Proposition ✓ Brand Audits & Strategic Recommendations **How I work:** → Research your market, competitors, and audience → Identify opportunities and gaps in your positioning → Analyze how your brand is currently being perceived → Provide practical, actionable recommendations—not just observations My background in business ownership and leadership allows me to approach projects from both a business and customer perspective. I believe strong brands are built by understanding not only what a business wants to say, but also how customers think, compare, and make decisions. If you're looking for thoughtful research, strategic insights, and clear recommendations to strengthen your brand positioning, I'd love to discuss your project.

I help founders and small business owners tell their story compellingly and get it funded. Most consultants do one or the other. I do both — and the combination is what makes the difference between work that goes nowhere and a funded deal that moves your business forward. What I bring that most freelancers can't: I've been the banker. I was a C-suite banker and led one of the top SBA lending operations in my state, which means I know exactly how underwriters think, what kills a deal before it starts, and how to position your business for approval. I've also been the founder — three times — and led due diligence for one of the largest angel syndicates in the US. I currently led the GTM strategies for a $12B company. I know what investors and lenders want to see because I've been on both sides of the table. Today I run a capital and go-to-market advisory practice helping businesses access debt and equity capital and launch market dominating products through top-notch GTM strategies. What I deliver: Documentation - Lender-ready business plans built around how banks actually underwrite - Investor pitch decks that lead with what capital allocators care about - SBA loan packaging and deal structuring for 7(a) and 504 programs - Financial projections that hold up under scrutiny - Executive summaries and investor memorandums for equity raises - Go-to-Market audits and actionable playbooks Capital Advisory - SBA 7(a) and 504 deal origination and placement - Commercial loan brokering and lender matching - Equity raise strategy and investor positioning for growth-stage founders - Debt structuring and lender negotiation - I have a network of over 200+ investors and lenders GTM Advisory - Market sizing and segmentation (TAM/SAM/SOM analysis) - Ideal customer profile (ICP) definition and buyer persona development - Competitive landscape mapping and differentiation strategy - Product-market fit validation and messaging frameworks - Pricing and packaging strategy Who I work with: Small business owners who need SBA financing. Founders preparing for a debt or equity capital raise. Growth-stage businesses that need someone who has done this before, not someone figuring it out alongside them. Why clients come back: I work fast, I think at the executive level, and I don't pad engagements. You get the thinking you need, documentation that performs, and where relevant, the capital relationship that closes the deal. If you are looking to grow, need a funded business, and not just a finished document — let's talk.

Most SaaS and B2B brands do not have a design problem. They have a clarity problem. I help founders and growing teams turn complex products, services, and ideas into clear brand strategy, brand messaging, voice, visual identity systems, and brand guidelines that work across sales, marketing, product, and investor-facing materials. I am an Upwork Skill Certified Brand Identity Designer with 8+ years of experience and 1,000+ successful projects across brand identity, brand strategy, logo systems, brand books, rebranding, and marketing-ready visual systems. Most brands look good in a mockup but fall apart in real use. I build identity systems that stay consistent everywhere: website, pitch deck, social media, ads, packaging, print, presentations, and internal brand use. What I can help with: * Brand Strategy, Messaging, and Positioning * Brand Identity & Visual Identity Systems * Logo System Design * Brand Guidelines & Brand Book * Rebranding & Brand Refresh * Brand Collateral & Digital Assets * SaaS, Fintech, B2B, Logistics, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Professional Services branding My process: 1. Discovery — audience, market, competitors, goals 2. Strategy — positioning, brand direction, visual route 3. Design — logo system, identity system, colors, typography, assets 4. Delivery — brand book, source files, web-ready, and print-ready files Best fit: * SaaS startups preparing for launch * B2B service companies that need a more credible brand * Founders who want investor-ready and sales-ready branding * Companies that have outgrown their old logo and need a full identity system Recent client feedback: "Work completed over the holidays. Communication was maintained throughout. Delivered on time." Send me your brief. If your project is a fit, I will tell you exactly what your brand system needs, what it will cost, and how we can build it properly.
