But your Brand is not your logo or your social media campaign – it is the sum of all the promises you make and keep. Promises to customers, employees and suppliers.<\/p>\n
All too often, unkept commitments are a result of aspirational promises, misaligned with business reality. And a string of broken promises can result in angry customers, negative publicity, low employee morale and lost opportunities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Often ‘let’s work on our Brand’ translates to a logo redesign. Fresh paint on an old car.<\/p>\n

As with all things Japanese, Kintsugi is both an art form and a deep and meaningful philosophy. It is about joining together broken and disparate pieces into something that is at once striking, individualistic and functional.<\/p>\n
My approach is to learn everything I possibly can about your business and your environment. I employ a Socratic method of questioning to dig deep and unearth the true nature of your challenges within your context. I take a critical look at how you do things, at what promises you’re making and how you keep them. I break down everything that came before – analyse your successes, identify what can be improved and what has to go. Then I work with you to put it all back together by applying a cohesive, thoughtful strategy that connects what you say with what you do.<\/p>\n
I have 20 years of experience helping businesses articulate their purpose and what they feel most passionately about. I work with them to carry these values through to all their interactions so others can feel just as fiercely about them. Businesses that keep their promises give me joy; as does Eddie Vedder<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1592055907471{padding-top: 40px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;background-color: #3a526a !important;}” el_class=”darker-overlay dt-separator-bottom”][vc_column]Hi, my name is Karina, and I help businesses like yours navigate the perilous world of customer joy.<\/h2>
