Brand Strategist, Brighton
Clarity on who you are and how to say it.
There's a moment most founders hit where they know their brand isn't quite landing. The offer is good. The work is good. But something between what you do and how you're communicating it isn't connecting and that gap is costing you. This is where I can help.

brand strategy for independents and solo founders
Hi, Iām Phoebe
a brand strategist based in Brighton. I help independent brands, makers, artisans and purpose-led founders get clear on their positioning, sharpen their message, and build a brand that actually reflects the business they're building.
What brand strategy actually involves
It's not a logo. It's not a colour palette. Brand strategy is the thinking underneath all of that, the foundation that makes everything else feel consistent and intentional.
We work through questions like: What makes you genuinely different? Who is your audience, really? Why would someone choose you over anyone else? And how do you say all of that in a way that feels like you?
When that's clear, your website works harder. Your content feels easier to write. Your sales conversations have more confidence behind them.
Depending on where you are and what you need, we might work on brand positioning and messaging, a full brand and website strategy, or an audit of what's already there and what needs to shift. My work always starts with understanding your business before touching anything else.
Together we can work on:

Who I work with
Independent brand owners who are past the early scrappy stage and know something needs to shift. Makers and artisans with a strong product but a brand that isn't telling the right story. Solo founders who've outgrown their original positioning. Purpose-led businesses that want their values to come through clearly, without sounding like a mission statement.
If you're in Brighton or Sussex, Iād especially love to connect, but I work with founders across the UK.
