Marketing is silver,
Strategy is GLDN

Agile Brand & Creative Strategy by Ananda Rieber

M I S S I O N —————

I help companies to build meaningful relationships with their communities by aligning their brand and customer experiences with their values.

It’s my vocation to find the underlying human problem within a business problem and then outline a creative way to solve it.

D O I N G —————

I bridge the gap between strategy and execution.
Therefore I translate business goals into brillant creative strategy.
These strategies are always built on carefully refined human insights.

I help companies to decide confidently on where, when, and how to win.
As a classic T-Strategist I’m capable of shaping brands, writing strategy and planning campaigns as well as building and directing strategy teams

My objective is effectiveness.
My strategy is creativity.

HOW IT’S DONE —————

The GLDN approach to brand and creative strategy builds on the advantages of design thinking, future foresight, and user-centric research methods.
This enables me to business growth through communication efforts in a way that’s lean, iterative, and future-proof.

At first I’ll review my client’s status quo as well as it’s business and consumer goals.
Together then we’ll be establishing a profound understanding of the challenges they’re facing.
Using various kinds of research we’ll be shining light on hidden truths about real people’s lives. These truths and costumer-centric insights can later be used as levers to success.

I truly enjoy questioning all sorts of assumptions, corporate filters, and briefings.
So dear future clients: Please be prepared to participate in a workshop, or two 😉

Once the winning aspiration is set we’ll design an agile process for it’s implementation together. This workflow is always tailored to the specific situation and never just a ‘best practice’.
