Strategic communication sparring, without a long-term commitment

In a time when communication is more accessible than ever, execution often rests with people who don’t have a formal background in the field. Smart tools and AI can take you far, but at key moments, a strategic sounding board is invaluable. That’s why I offer a low-threshold, one-hour digital session: practical, focused, and fully tailored to your brand.

Clear communication choices,

without a long-term engagement

In recent years, the world of communication has changed dramatically. Thanks to AI and other smart tools, creating content or launching a campaign has become easier than ever. More accessible, faster, and more user-friendly. And that’s a welcome development. But accessibility also has a downside.

While execution has become simpler, the strategic foundation - making the right choices, safeguarding brand consistency, and crafting a clear positioning - remains human work. And expert work.

Communication 'on the side'

In many organisations, communication is handled by someone without formal training, or assigned to a junior team member. That’s not necessarily a problem; many professionals have a strong instinct for language, visuals and branding. Still, in practice, there are key moments when strategic guidance is needed. A moment of reflection. A sounding board. Someone who asks the right questions and helps set a clear direction.

One session. Real impact.

To meet that need, I offer a one-hour digital consultancy session. No long-term commitments or complex proposals, just a practical, focused opportunity to spar about your communication strategy.

This session can help you:

• Validate decisions and set priorities

• Gain a fresh perspective on your brand story or positioning

• Define concrete next steps in a communication challenge

• Support a junior team member in managing a project

Who is this session meant for?

This session is designed for:

• Businesses without a dedicated communications specialist

• Brands that occasionally need strategic clarity or reflection

• Small teams or start-ups with growing communication demands

• Solo communication professionals looking for a senior sparring partner

Each session is tailored to your specific needs, brand and context. No obligation to commit long-term, just immediate value, delivered with clarity and expertise.
