👀 Looking for a strategist who can see the whole board (not just the next move)? Hi, I’m Sav, a Brand Strategist & Creative Director with 7+ years of experience helping founders, startups, and growing brands clarify their direction, shape their story, and build a plan that actually holds. I help you answer what matters, what comes next, and how everything fits together; before time and energy are spent executing. In short: I take ideas from mind to market. 🎯 I’ve worked across startups, small businesses, nonprofits, and founder-led brands, including Hello Alfred (Forbes Top 100 Startups) and a range of early-stage and scaling ventures. Over time, my work has evolved from hands-on execution into a more strategic, advisory role; helping clients design the roadmap, structure the narrative, and make confident decisions about what to build (and what not to). How I Work: 🤝 I come in as a strategic partner, guide, and architect. Clients usually come to me saying: 💬 “I know what I want to build, but I don’t know how to structure it.” 💬 “Everything feels scattered. I need clarity and a plan.” 💬 “I don’t need more content; I need direction.” 💬 “I want to launch a course / brand / platform, but I don’t know where to start.” My role is to help you: ⚡️clarify your vision ⚡️define the strategy ⚡️map the system ⚡️and move forward with confidence Execution can then happen through your team, collaborators, or selectively with my support — but the insight, structure, and game plan come first. What I Advise On: ✅ Brand, Business & Creative Strategy -Brand positioning & narrative clarity -Brand audits & strategic realignment -Messaging frameworks & content roadmaps -Go-to-market thinking & launch strategy -Strategic advising for founders & creative teams ✅ Editorial & Content Strategy -Editorial direction for books, manuscripts, and long-form writing -Voice development and narrative cohesion across platforms -Structural shaping for essays, articles, and editorial series -Thought leadership and publication strategy -Content strategy for blogs, publications, and founder-led platforms -Editorial oversight and refinement (what to say, what to cut, what to expand) ✅ Courses, Curriculum & IP Development -Course and program architecture -Curriculum flow & learning journeys -Tools, frameworks & educational assets -Editorial guidance and content shaping ✅ Content, Media & Digital Strategy -Social media strategy & ecosystem planning -Website structure & narrative flow (UX from a story perspective) -Video & content systems (what to say, where, and why) -Campaign and platform strategy ✅ Creative Direction -Campaign concepts & creative briefs -Art direction guidance -Visual identity & branding -Editorial and narrative oversight My Background: I bring a strong writing and storytelling foundation, supported by a BA in Philosophy, Anthropology, and Theology from The New School (awarded with merit). This training allows me to look beneath surface-level tactics and help brands articulate what they actually stand for, and how to express that clearly. I’m known for being: 💫 highly strategic 💫 thoughtful and direct 💫 structured but human 💫 calm in complexity I work best as a strategic partner through advisory retainers, strategy intensives, short-term roadmapping, or ongoing coaching for founders; helping you identify what work is worth doing while guiding execution in a way that brings the vision to life. 📩 Message me to start the conversation. I look forward to connecting, Sav Lucia
