Truth Sells

That has been my philosophy. Customers are becoming more savvy, less forgiving to brands that are not truthful about what they can deliver, those that aren’t true to their brand promise. With the advent of digital connectivity, disgruntled customers can quickly become ‘badvocates’ that can destroy a brand’s equity with a couple of influential posts. At the same time, the environment has reached a point of hyper-competition where brands need to truly differentiate to thrive in their market, supported by attention-getting creative. For over a decade, I have been successfully helping clients to process their truth into powerful branding that sells.


In a customer’s mind, the brand

equals the company’s reputation,

that is, the experience & value

they expect to get




Branding & design enables businesses

to deliver distinctive experiences,

bringing them to life through all

internal & external touch-points



As a result, Branding will allow you to: • Clarify a positioning that is differentiated

from competitors

• Define the relationship between brands and sub-brands, targeting them to specific segments

• Develop messaging that persuasively communicates the brands’ benefits and propositions

• Create an experience of the brand that nurtures loyalty and commands a premium


In a Nutshell


In a Nutshell

In an industry where agencies are polarised between expertise in brand strategy versus creative execution, I have demonstrated the ability to effectively synergise between the two in projects globally.

The Difference


In a Nutshell

For over a decade, I have steadily gained credibility, being listed as a consultant with government agencies, the Singapore Design Council and the Management Consultants Certification Board. I have not only spoken at seminars worldwide, judged at and garnered creative awards, but also achieved marketing excellence and consumer choice awards for clients.
