everywhere.

Positioning, brand direction and monthly content for growing skincare and wellness brands.

Someone discovers your brand.
What do they find next?

They check you in four places before they decide.

The ad
Gets attention

“Ooh. This looks expensive.”

Instagram
Decides if you’re real

“Wait — is this the same brand?”

The website
Answers “is this for me?”

“What makes this better than the $14 one?”

The product page
Closes it

“I’ll come back to it later.”

They never come back later. There's no notification for the ones who quietly move on.

Inconsistency costs more than it looks like it does.

People are deciding what to put on their skin. A brand that looks assembled from pieces makes them wonder whether the formula was too — and that doubt is expensive.

How we fix it.

Three layers, in order. Decisions first — visuals follow.

01

Positioning

Who the brand is for, what makes it different, why someone chooses it.

02

Brand direction

The position becomes one visual and verbal system for every channel.

03

Monthly creative

Campaign ideas and directed content, month after month. New work, same brand.

Skincare brands, before and after.

Same products, same photos to work with, same audience.

The original giveaway post: serif headline, product on plain white.
After
The same giveaway, redirected: the product in use, one type system, one colour world.

Which of these two feeds would you trust with your face?

Another brand, same treatment
Before
A skincare feed as found: script, ransom-note letters, torn paper and shop-now banners, all in different worlds.
After
The same brand under one direction: one palette, one type system, one way of lighting the product across serum, cream and packaging.
With one system in place
Recognisable without the logo.
The ad, the profile and the site read as one company.
The next post doesn't start from zero.

AI made polished content easy.
It didn't make brands distinctive.

We pair brand direction with AI production. AI is why the work is fast. Direction is why it's good.

The main way we work

Your ongoing brand
and creative partner.

More than a freelancer, without building an internal team. One partner holding the brand direction, so it stays easy to understand, trust and remember.

  • Monthly campaign and content direction
  • Messaging and creative concepts
  • Directed social content
  • Production that keeps pace with your calendar
  • Selected reels and campaign assets
  • Monthly brand review
  • One shared project page
  • Direct access to the creative director
Monthly retainerthree months to start · fee shared on the call

Defined monthly scope. Not unlimited design, not paid media management, not a full marketing department.

What a month actually looks like.

Every client runs on the same calendar, so direction is decided before anything is produced — and you always know which week you're in.

  • Week 1DirectionWe agree what the month is about. I write the concepts and the brief everything else is made against.
  • Week 2ProductionThe work gets made against that brief. Nothing to manage on your side.
  • Week 3ReviewEverything comes back at once. One round of notes, one round of changes.
  • Week 4DeliveryAssets land, we look at what the month did, and next month is decided.

Scope is agreed before we start and written down. If something falls outside it, I say so before it starts — not after.

Three ways to work together.

Start with the audit — it shows the direction on your own feed. The partnership is where it compounds.

Director-level work, without building a team.

Hiring this internally takes several roles. A designer can execute — someone still has to decide.

One thread

Everything for your brand happens in one place — you never explain it to someone new.

One direction

Every asset traces back to the same positioning.

Flexible production

A production team scales output up or down — no new hires.

What happens after you send it.

No long sales process. Four steps, and you can stop at any of them.

01

You send your brand

A link and a few questions. I read every one myself.

02

Your brand read

Three minutes to read: how your brand looks now, and how it could look under one direction.

03

A 20-minute call

If the read lands, we talk — and I say whether the audit is the right next step, or not.

04

You decide

The audit, the Foundation, the monthly partnership — or nothing at all. The read is yours either way.

Before you apply.

Who is this actually for?

Launched skincare and wellness product brands, investing in marketing — at the point where the brand looks younger than the company behind it.

Who is it not for?

Pre-launch brands, logo-only requests, and cheapest-option shopping. For volume design, a subscription will serve you better.

What's not included?

No paid media, no daily posting or community management, no influencer management, no full marketing department. We own positioning, direction and the content that carries them.

Why not just hire a designer?

A designer executes. Someone still has to decide what the brand says and how the touchpoints connect. That's the missing layer.

How do we start?

Most brands start with the audit — one week, credited toward the Foundation. You see your own posts redone in the proposed direction before committing to anything bigger.

See your own feed, redone.

Send your Instagram and I'll put together a short read of your brand — how it looks now, and how it could look under one direction. One link, three minutes to read, yours to keep. No call, no invoice.

No newsletter, no spam.

Start with one honest read.

Send your Instagram. You get your own posts redone, before and after — before deciding anything at all.
