Brand Strategy Takeoff 🚀
The NO Bullsh*t complete program for SMEs to build an impactful brand, from strategy to execution.
Overcome obstacles, align your brand and achieve impactful brand growth with a clear, strategic process.
I’ve heard these problems before.
This is EXACTLY how conversations start with my clients.
It’s not good.
It’s sh*t tbh.
You know how it feels facing the problems.
When your business just can't break through.
Or you have a big blockade stopping you from moving forward.
It’s frustrating.
It’s draining.
And it stops your growth.
But, what’s the solution?
🤔 A new website?
🤔 A new marketing campaign?
🤔 Or another bloody logo to “change the aesthetic" and "arouse our audience”?
No. Well, at least not yet.
Most of the time we jump to the “execution” in search of a solution.
We think a new product, or a sales technique, a new website or new identity will solve our problems.
Then what happens?
You do that and you fall back onto your ass.
Truth is.
You make ASS-umptions.
You work reactively.
Why?
❌ Because you don’t have a clear plan of action.
❌ You don’t have a guide to lead your growth.
❌ You don’t have anything to help you think and make decisions.
You simply don’t have a Strategy!
THIS is the missing piece.
In order for your brand to have impactful growth it needs to have a clear game plan.
We call that a Brand Strategy.
When obstacles come, you need to have your brand strategy to refer back to which helps you figure out the solution.
Before deciding on any execution like new websites, campaigns or a rebrand, your brand strategy guides you to whether it’s the right decision.
Not being at the mercy of reactionary behavior in business, is what a brand strategy provides you.
Giving your brand consistent and impactful growth.
Like for some of the client problems above:
A brand strategy ensures you prioritise and execute high-impact tasks, enhancing your overall brand experience. This boosts brand awareness and market recognition, ultimately accelerating growth.
A brand strategy defines your brand's voice, personality and values allowing your brand to be communicated effectively across all touchpoints with clarity, consistency, and impact, making it easier for customers to understand and engage.
A brand strategy gives a deeper understanding of your audience such as their pain points and decision making. This aligns your messaging, positioning, marketing and value proposition to resonate with and attract not just more clients, but the right ones.
We have a pathway to understand your current challenges, analyse your brand, set a clear strategy and help you execute it. We will follow 8 clear steps in the Brand Strategy Takeoff project to help you build a strong, impactful brand.
Initial discovery to discuss your current challenges and speak about where you want your brand to be (the brand goals).

"What stands out about Kiki is his positive energy, relentless dedication, strong branding expertise, and his work toward a higher purpose. Since day one, we’ve been on the same wavelength. When I received the invitation to work with him and his team on a project in the positive impact space, I was enthusiastic. Kiki demonstrated strong leadership, gave a clear sense of direction, organized a meticulous client workshop, and provided all the information needed to complete the copywriting part. He has a clear understanding of all the components needed to build a unique and differentiated brand. Beyond that, Kiki is smart, entertaining, human, and can easily empathize with others. I’d recommend working with Kiki anytime, you’ll expand your horizons and grow further together!"

I've attended 2 of his brand-building events in London and had the privilege of interviewing him on my podcast. His knowledge of branding and positioning is unparalleled, and he has a natural ability to break things down in a way that's easy to understand. If I ever need help with branding, he'll be the first person I call. And if anyone I knew needed help, he'd be the first person I recommend."

"When the workshop began, Kiki talked about his breadth of knowledge in Brand Building (not in a cocky way lol) and this reassured me that I was being led by an expert who knew what they were talking about. We were equipped with resources to get the most out of the session and I had the opportunity to think in detail about my Target Audience - something I already thought I did at length but this provided me with a completely new perspective! The great thing was that it was applicable to businesses of any size - even if you hadn't launched your business yet, there was something for everyone to learn."
