Consumers search their noodles before they turn to Google. 

I help businesses be the brand consumers think of first.

I create actionable brand identities and strategies that emotionally connect businesses and people.

If you're not top-of-mind, you're starting from far behind.​

​​

When a want arises, consumers naturally turn to their mental search engine before a digital one. Being the brand that they think of first gives you a significant advantage. 

 

Brand marketing's job is to win a top-of-mind presence by making emotional connections with consumers at the wide end of the funnel. Performance marketing makes the sale at the narrow end with an offer.​ By overly relying on performance marketing, many businesses don't start competing until the consumer reaches the bottom of the funnel.

 

I help businesses build substantive brand identities and strategies that shoot them to the top of their target consumers' minds. 

Intuitive Strategy Honed Over Decades

Branding means different things to different people. I remove the confusion with proven processes and frameworks to deliver simple, memorable, actionable, and compelling strategies.

Hi! I'm Glenn.

I’m a conceptual thinker. It’s how I’m wired and how I’ve trained my mind. My ability to break down abstract concepts lets me quickly turn insights into ideas, and my intuitive frameworks turn those ideas into actionable strategies.​

I see myself more as a brand therapist than a strategist. My role is to lead a business through a process of self-discovery to understand who it is and aspires to be. I then codify the findings into strategies that are simple, memorable, actionable, and compelling. 

Let's talk.
