The 5-question audit
Five questions. One workshop. By the end, the room knows what you stand for, who you're for, and what you'll never do.
Brand strategy
Most marketing breaks because the strategy beneath it isn't sharp. The team can't agree on who the customer is. The website says ten things at once. Sales pitches sound nothing alike. That's a positioning problem — and it costs more than any media budget can fix.
The problem
If your team can't all complete 'We're the only company that ___ for ___ who want ___' in the same words, you don't have a positioning. You have a marketing problem dressed up as a creative problem.
How I help
Five questions. One workshop. By the end, the room knows what you stand for, who you're for, and what you'll never do.
A positioning statement, three messaging pillars, a brand narrative, and the things you'll deliberately not say. Documented, defensible, deployable.
Master brand or house of brands? Sub-brand strategy for verticals or products? I've done both — and the wrong call here costs more than any rebrand.
A written voice guide + visual direction brief. Then handed to design — yours, mine, or Quiamo's — for the visual roll-out.
How it works
Stakeholder interviews, competitor audit, customer research. Nothing skipped.
Two-day workshop with the leadership team. The hard conversations happen here.
Positioning, narrative, pillars, voice. Written, debated, signed off.
Visual brief, messaging matrix, sales narrative. Ready for execution.
Selected work
Anonymised at client request — substance unchanged.
Visual roll-out
Once strategy is signed off, Quiamo handles visual identity, packaging, design system, and digital roll-out — same brief, sharper hands.

I do strategy. I don't draw logos. I write the brief that designers — yours, mine, or Quiamo's — execute. This separation produces better work.
6–10 weeks for a full sprint. Faster if scope is narrow (positioning only). I don't do six-month brand projects — they're usually three weeks of work stretched out.
A positioning statement, brand narrative, three messaging pillars, voice guidelines, visual brief, sales narrative, and architecture decisions. Written, debated and signed off — not a 60-slide deck nobody opens.
Yes — for new ventures, sub-brands, or product lines. Naming is a discrete project; usually 2–3 weeks.
Different scopes. Refresh keeps the strategy, sharpens the expression. Reposition rewrites the strategy. The audit determines which you need.
