Brand Advisory
You know what to do. You need someone to make sure you do it right.
Your brand strategy exists — whether you built it yourself, worked with an agency, or went through my Brand Foundation. The positioning is clear. The identity is defined. The storytelling framework is in place.
Now comes the hard part: executing it consistently while running a business.
Brand Advisory gives you ongoing access to me as your brand strategist. I guide. You execute. Think of it as having a seasoned advisor in your corner — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Month-to-month. No long-term commitment.
How it works
Kickoff (up to 90 minutes) — We align on your brand, priorities, and how we’ll work together
Monthly strategy call (45 minutes) — Scheduled in advance to ensure consistent engagement
Async access between calls — Up to one question per business day via the client portal, answered within 48 hours on business days. Allow 72 hours for any supporting research or documentation.
Post-call follow-up — After each call, you receive a summary document, infographic, or explainer video so you have something tangible to refer back to
On-demand calls — Need more? Book additional calls anytime via my calendar
Scope
What I help with:
Reviewing a campaign, launch, or rebrand direction before you commit
Pressure-testing messaging, positioning, or visual identity decisions
Preparing brand narratives for investor pitches or partnership conversations
Deciding whether to hire an agency, freelancer, or build in-house — and briefing them
Gut-checking strategic direction when something feels off but you can’t articulate why
What’s not included:
Quantitative work — analytics, data analysis, technical SEO, or performance reporting
Hands-on production — design, copywriting, mockups, or any deliverables beyond advisory materials. If you want me to execute, not just advise, that’s what Storytelling Production is for

FAQ
How is this different from Brand Foundation? Brand Foundation is a one-time project where we build your positioning, identity, and storytelling strategy from scratch. Brand Advisory is ongoing — once you have the foundation, I help you execute it over time.
Do I need to complete Brand Foundation first? No. If you already have a solid brand foundation (whether you built it with me or someone else), you can start here. If you're unsure whether your foundation is solid, consider a Brand Roadmap first — a single diagnostic call to assess where you stand before committing to an ongoing engagement.
What if I want someone to produce the work, not just advise? That's what Storytelling Production is for. I create your social posts, articles, newsletters, and video scripts while you focus on running your business.
What if I have an urgent request? You can schedule a call, send an email, or add tasks to the client portal at any time, 24/7. However, please allow 48 hours for me to respond, and 72 hours for any supporting research or documentation.
Can I book more than one call per month? Yes. Your monthly strategy call is scheduled in advance, but you can book additional calls anytime via my calendar.
What happens if I don’t use my async questions? Unused questions do not roll over. The subscription is for access and availability, not accumulated hours.
Can I pause or cancel? Yes. Month-to-month, no commitment. Pause or cancel anytime.
What do I get after each call? A summary document, infographic, or short explainer video capturing the key points and recommendations — so you have something tangible to refer back to and share with your team.
