Good brands prove their worth.

Loved brands earn their place.

Strategy for people who care about what they're building.
I work with founders, owners, and teams who want their brands to be good and loved.

Services

01. Strategy

Strategy that saves time and is ridiculously easy to use.

A practical messaging framework your whole team can use every day. No more 'How do we say this?' or 'Does this feel right?'

The process is simple and collaborative: research, interviews, workshops, and strategy. I'll ask questions you hadn't considered and share perspectives you may not have seen.

It's fun and we always uncover new opportunities along the way.

The result: A strategy that talks like people do, and is built to be used.

02. Naming

Names with meaning. Names people remember.

I work closely with founders and teams to find or create names that carry meaning and feel true to what they're building.

We'll explore wide territories, then refine and compare - landing on something that feels almost inevitable when spoken.

The result: A name that captures the spirit of your brand, travels well into the future, and makes you easy to remember.

03. Go to market

Go-to-market that gets you in front of the right people.

Everyone has ideas. Bringing them to life is hard. I like hard.

  • Market and opportunity assessment: See where you fit and what's worth pursuing.
  • Product and venture development: Turn your idea into something testable, tangible, and valuable.
  • Launch and scaling: Take it out into the world, learn fast, and adapt.

The result: Quicker feedback loops, less money and time wasted, and fewer late nights at your desk.

04. Podcasts

Podcasts built for better brands, not bigger egos.

People often get podcasts wrong. They see them as shortcuts to fame, or assume they require studios and expensive gear. That's not the point.

I see podcasts as a tool for growth:

  • Create a wide range of content, beyond just video.
  • Reach out to people you wouldn't normally meet - industry peers, clients, or future partners.
  • Learn, test your ideas, and share your thinking.
  • Build trust and community around your brand.
  • Scale from simple 0-1 setups to polished, studio-quality productions.

I design podcast strategies to scale with your needs, from simple 0-1 setups to polished, studio-quality productions.

05. Partnerships

Partnerships that bring strategy to life.

For the services I don't offer, I work with trusted partners who share the same principles: collaborative, thoughtful, and built to last.

  • Design: visual identity, brand systems, and creative execution.
  • Development: websites, apps, and digital products.
  • Social media and community: ongoing presence, engagement, and activation.
  • Digital and paid media: performance campaigns, analytics, and optimisation.

The same principles apply: collaborative, thoughtful, grounded in strategy, and built to last.

06. Building

Building what we believe in.

To test markets, roll out strategies, and get real feedback, we put our money where our mouths are by creating our own products and ventures. Built on the same principles we bring to all of our work:

  • Proving usefulness, integrity, and quality.
  • Resonating with people, culture, or subcultures.
  • Standing the test of time.

We only create products that are valuable, improve on what already exists, and make the world a little better.

Good and Loved is inspired by

John Steinbeck, East of Eden

"Underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved."

Brands, driven by people, are founded to create value (good) and strive to be recognised, trusted, and chosen (loved). Brands that pursue one without the other struggle.

Good but unloved = irrelevant.

Loved but not good = manipulative, unsustainable, or lacking value.

'Shortcuts to love' - greenwashing, short-termism, co-opting social movements — undermine trust.

A good brand should prove its usefulness, integrity, and the quality of its offering.

A loved brand must resonate with people, culture (or subcultures), and values.

We work with brands that are steady, timeless, and enduring, and we build our own brands on the same principles.
