Why Work With Me

A perspective:

I look at the behaviour first.

Every campaign, creator, product and community begins with people. I study how audiences form, why ideas spread, and how culture creates economic value.

I build frameworks over trends.

Rather than chasing what's popular, I develop repeatable ways to understand audiences, Creative IP and positioning.

Everything I teach is something I'm building.

From Outer Perch to Africa Loud and Culture Capital, my ideas are tested through live products before they become advice.
