Unusual Breakthroughs Strategist for Brands Eager for New Momentum
I’m not your average brand consultant. I diagnose brand stagnation—and ignite momentum with one bold, strategic idea. With 40+ years of experience across 125 brands, I deliver reframes that work: campaignable, courageous, and custom to each challenge. Every case study I develop includes not just a breakthrough idea, but ten content directions—and a reimagined customer experience that’s typically led to measurable results within six months.
That’s the thinking I bring into every Clarity Sprint.
When you are the primary brand of your business, how can unusual brand strategy profile your personal credibility, expertise, and authority?
When your product brands are your money-spinners, how can unusual brand strategy help showcase and move them off the shelves faster?
When you’re offering services or solutions to your customers, how can unusual brand strategy get you greater visibility, reach, trust, and sales?
When your company is your brand, how can unusual brand strategy impact your stakeholders and competitors, and get you market dominance?
When your brand is driven by a purpose greater than itself, how can unusual brand strategy evangelize its transformative message to millions?
When you’re a CEO, COO, CFO, CIO, or CMO of a business, how can unusual brand strategy help your thought-leadership shape industry opinion?
In a market overcrowded with formulas and familiarity, brands that play safe often slip into sameness.
After four decades in brand strategy, I’ve seen that what moves a brand isn’t just difference for difference’s sake—but one sharp, strategically unusual idea that unlocks traction.
That’s why I work at the point where brands stall—and why I’m unapologetically Unusual by Strategy. Because when a brand dares to break pattern, it finally breaks through. And that breakthrough doesn’t just shift perception—it reshapes momentum.
I have notched up 40+ years of experience in multinational Advertising & Digital Marketing. I worked with global agencies like Ogilvy, JWT, and Lowe Lintas. I also owned my own avant garde web innovations company, Avigna Technologies.
I have consulted in Digital Marketing for close to 125 brands of all sizes and nuances – including global megabrands as well as disruptive startups.
My expertise lies in unlocking momentum for stuck brands—through strategic reframing, campaignable big ideas, and bold content systems that shift the conversation. Every engagement is designed to deliver not just clarity, but a breakthrough no one saw coming.
Holding an MBA in Marketing from the University of Wales, UK, and as a SmartBlogger Certified Content Marketer, I blend academic rigor with practical experience to deliver strategies that are both innovative and grounded.
