Founder

Aug 2017 - Present
QSQ Brand Strategy was set up with the intention of creating a consultancy fit for the modern world. One that is more flexible, agile and output-focused, without the inhibiting factors that many well-established companies often suffer from. We want to do things differently; in the way we work, think and build relationships. At QSQ we have a single focus to help brands – big and small – to stand out and get one step ahead of their competition, in what are increasingly competitive marketplaces. Offering both direct to client and freelance services for other consultancies, through QSQ I've run and delivered projects for clients such as Heineken, PlayStation, TikTok, Xero, Samsung and Google.
