Strategy & Marketing Services

Scale genuine impact with strategies that reflect
values, support communities & drive engagement

Working on something complex, with multiple priorities and stakeholders?

This is where I can support you. 

I help purpose-driven brands and places that prioritize community, culture, meaningful experiences, and lasting impact improve, connect with the right people, and grow without compromising your values. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your place or brand’s identity, expand into new markets, better empower entrepreneurs and communities, or attract partners and investments.

You might be refining your focus, entering a new phase of growth, or realizing that existing strategies no longer reflect where you’re going. You know that the challenge isn’t just about visibility or promotion, but making sure that the work stays aligned even as you grow.

That’s where I come in – helping you clarify direction, refine strategy and communication, and move things forward in a way that works across teams, partners, and priorities. In complex, fast-moving environments where flexibility, continuous iterations, and trust are essential.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked with places ranging from Brazil to Spain, media, events, and brands across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.  Ranging from advising UN/EU projects to working directly with local entrepreneurs and indigenous communities. 

What I can help with:

  • Place development, strategy & partnerships: Helping you clarify where your place, initiative, brand, or ecosystem is heading, and building the structures and partnerships needed to support your bigger vision. This can include clarifying priorities, refining what you do, introducing new initiatives, developing and strengthening relationships with key stakeholders, and supporting decisions around growth, localization, collaboration, and long-term value for local communities.
  • Positioning, marketing & communication: Ensuring strategy, communication, experiences, and partnerships work together in practice and meet people where they are. From clarifying focus, target groups, drives, needs, and messaging, to strengthening identity and supporting co-creation with partners, funders, and communities, so what you stand for is clear, consistent, and attracts the right ones. 
  • Community engagement initiatives and programs: Managing and supporting program design, collaboration structures, and practical steps that inspire ownership, confidence, and community engagement. From empowering local entrepreneurs to initiatives that support innovation, meaningful connection, and lasting impact.

We might be a match if you want to:

 

  • Explore or enter a new market
  • Identify and focus on the right target groups
  • Strengthen and market your place/impact-focused brand
  • Make sure you grow in a way that aligns with your values
  • Implement sustainable strategies centered around community empowerment, meaningful experiences, engagement, and partnerships that benefit diverse stakeholders and strengthen local connections
  • Make sure your values are felt throughout your operations, partnerships, and customer experience
  • Validate and refine your offers to ensure they’re useful and worth paying for, bias check included 😉
  • Produce high-quality key content (strategic documents, articles, website, campaign, or partner-facing material, etc.) that builds clarity, credibility, and trust with the audiences that matter, including partners, funders, investors, and communities. Please note – I’m a strategist who can help you create content as part of the bigger picture, to clarify strategy, values, positioning, perspectives, etc. Not a writer-for-hire producing generic content
  • Optimize the overall customer/partnership experience to inspire loyalty and trust
  • Establish new partnerships and naturally integrate local needs/impact in your strategy

 

We’re not a match if you’re looking to position yourself without first validating that what you offer is genuine, meaningful and works, or if you’re after quick fixes instead of doing the actual work.

 

How we can team up

From individual coaching sessions and advising to comprehensive support, I offer different options to reach your goals.

How to choose? If you’re unsure where to start or need a deep dive into your current positioning, start with the Audit Service. If you need full branding, marketing, and development strategies, the Complete Growth Strategy has got you covered. For ongoing support, inspiration, or hands-on workshops, you can choose between the alternatives under Ongoing Long-Term Collaboration or Coaching & Advisory.

Budgets vary depending on scope, complexity, duration, and level of involvement. I have special deals for community-run businesses with flexible payment models and reduced rates to help create meaningful, long-term impact while working within budget constraints. I’m happy to discuss options once we’ve clarified what support would be most useful.

Who it’s for: Brands, places, and community hubs needing a clear direction to achieve their goals. Find what works and what doesn’t.

Examples:

  • A place wanting to attract a mix of international visitors, investments, talents, and local communities, encouraging meaningful engagement and exchange

    Real results speak for themselves

    Por qué trabajar conmigo

    Strategic clarity based on real-world complexity

    I help challenge the conventional, identify overlooked tensions and opportunities beyond surface idealistic solutions, and navigate them with nuance. Balancing vision with constraints, and long-term strategy with immediate priorities.

    Integration of strategy, experience, and communication

    We’ll create holistic strategies that hold brand, community goals, and the customer experience together, so values show up in the design and delivery, not just in marketing. From community engagement to partnerships and launches, always with a focus on authenticity and collaboration to improve places, experiences, and life quality.

    Increased visibility and conversions

    From optimizing structure and customer journeys to creating top-ranked content, I’ve more than doubled my clients’ visibility, engagement, and conversion rates. We’ll analyze your current systems and refine key touchpoints to increase awareness and drive results, improving results over time based on data.

    Cross-cultural collaboration and place sensitivity

    I’ve lived and worked across continents for over a decade, speak several languages, learned to adapt across cultures while preserving brand integrity, and sensing what will resonate in different places. Curious by nature, I connect easily with all kinds of people, which makes collaboration smoother.

    Values-aligned, emotionally intelligent approach

    Whether coaching a founder or shaping a destination offer, I build from values and emotional intelligence. I help people reconnect with why they do what they do, understand what drives different stakeholders, and use that to inspire action, positioning, and loyalty.

    A lean, hand-picked team model

    I work with a partner model that allows me to bring in just the right people for each project. Budgets are always grounded in expected value, and we only move forward if we believe we can create real impact.
