THE BRAND CATALYST

Your brand, sharp again.

In 8 to 10 weeks, I sharpen your existing brand. Then I build it into your team's AI tools, so everything you publish reflects what your brand stands for.

Sound familiar?

You have a strong brand. But it isn't working as hard as it could.

I work with established companies at a turning point: a new generation taking over, an acquisition or a new direction.

  • Your website, social media and sales each tell a different story.
  • Customers choose on price, not on who you are.
  • Your team creates plenty of content, each in their own way.
  • You already use AI, but it doesn't sound like your brand.

What you get

  1. 01

    Clear brand positioning

    Who you serve, and why customers choose you. Use it to test every decision.

  2. 02

    A brand story your team can tell

    With key messages and a clear tone of voice.

  3. 03

    Your brand in your AI tools

    Copy comes out in the right tone straight away. And every text is checked before it goes out.

  4. 04

    A trained team

    Ready to carry on independently, with a roadmap and clear metrics.

Approach: 4 steps

We build on what's already there. AI does the research. We make the choices together.

  1. STEP 1 · 2 WEEKS

    Gather

    Conversations with the owner, team and customers. AI analyses reviews and customer questions. I keep asking until we get to the core.

    You get: a one-page brand scan.

  2. STEP 2 · 3 WEEKS

    Sharpen

    Two sessions with your core team. We decide who you serve, and why they should choose you.

    You get: your brand on two pages: positioning, story, key messages and tone of voice.

  3. STEP 3 · 2 TO 3 WEEKS

    Embed

    Your brand goes into your AI tools, and your team is trained to use them.

    You get: working tools and a trained team.

  4. STEP 4 · ONGOING

    Grow

    Internal launch with your team. Want ongoing support? We'll review and fine-tune every month.

    You get: a roadmap with clear metrics.

What does AI do, and what do we do?

AI does

  • Analyse reviews and customer questions
  • Compare your communication with your competitors'
  • Write copy in your tone
  • Check every text against your brand

Together we

  • Choose what the brand stands for
  • Get the team on board
  • Judge what works
  • Adjust where needed
Femke Ellenbroek, strategy and marketing lead

About me

I'm Femke Ellenbroek, a brand strategist. I've been working on brands for 18 years, from large multinationals to my own company.

I started as a brand manager at AkzoNobel, for Flexa. From Dubai, I launched brands in more than 20 countries for Jotun, managing a $100 million brand portfolio.

At Kader Group, I brought six acquired companies together under one brand and led a team of 12 marketers. With my own agency, I worked for clients including Hearst and SBM Offshore.

I also built a brand of my own: Phemke, a sustainable label sold to luxury resorts in 8 countries. The pieces were handmade by local women, paid a fair wage.

Today I work as a strategy and marketing lead for international companies. I'm fascinated by what AI can do for building a strong brand. That's why I set up marketing teams with AI agents that create content in the brand's tone every day.
