Consulting
I can help you align how you’re presenting your brand on the outside with the culture you’re building on the inside. Manage expectations. So that your employees are happy…and stay with the company longer.
I can help you align how you’re presenting your brand on the outside with the culture you’re building on the inside. Manage expectations. So that your employees are happy…and stay with the company longer.
In my career I’ve learned that diversity and empathy are the keys to building interesting workplaces and successful brands that are beloved by customers and employees..
If you want to build a standout company, you can’t overlook the people.
Your success depends on them. The interns sitting in your office filling in Excel sheets, the producer on a commercial shoot who makes that zebra appear out of thin air, your cleaning lady who always has a kind word for the frustrated office manager. All of these people and their small interactions make up your organizational culture…and impact your growth and profitability.
It’s the small things that count in this new world of working – being transparent, asking for feedback, adopting Flex- Fridays, asking the right questions – the thing is, these things are never really small. They make all the difference in how your brand is perceived and whether it will flourish…or be easily forgotten as a boring place to work at.
But what happens when you feel like leadership has lost touch with the employees?
When you don’t have a plan for integrating a younger, more diverse talent pool into your existing teams? When you want to create a functioning, remote-work culture? When your mid-level people are secretly complaining about your top-level people’s management style – calling them dinosaurs – and you don’t know how to fix it?
You hire me.
I can help you solve all those problems and pinpoint other organizational pain points so you can create a sense of community, advocate for your people, cultivate strong leadership, embrace change, and achieve your mission. Like:
- Finding – and attracting – the right talent.
- Actually hiring a diverse team, instead of filling the cubicles with the same kind of person.
- Constant clashes between generations about how things “should be done.”
- Making Slack something your employees use (and value).
- Extracting organizational knowledge from your team and making it accessible to everyone.
- Feeling like leadership is disconnected from the employees.
- Outgrowing your culture.
Let’s create an environment where people flourish so your business grows.

(and who’d totally do it again)
“Hannah’s instinct and ability to understand where opportunities lie to bring new business to a company are exceptional. This gives her the edge in understanding where her extensive and diverse skill set comes into play. Her skills form a clear sign of an individual who is able to look at things from above; focussing with one eye on the macro and the other on the micro. By tactfully interchanging these different perspectives, she’s always positive and pragmatic in her approach when delivering her work.”
—Mark Jenkins, Experience Design Director at 72andSunny
“Hannah’s unique background and understanding of culture were a great boost to the strategic thinking behind a successful pitch. She worked across the entire project, providing support to creative and strategy alike, with a sharp eye for identifying interesting opportunities in culture and turning them into springboards for deeper thinking. She’s fun, relentlessly optimistic and a great partner to work with.”
—Bruno Steffens, Director of Strategy at GUT
“I’ve got to know Hannah as a hard-working, naturally curious lateral thinker. From anthropological research to management theory to last night’s concert review she blends a unique mix of knowledge that she applies with contagious excitement to the benefit of the organization—and everyone she works with.”
—Maximilian Weigl, Strategy Director at 72andSunny
“A world-class communicator and manager, Hannah makes technical strategic decisions immediately accessible and useful to others by always relating the conversation back to the end-user and their needs. Within a few short months, she has single-handedly transformed our approach to brand planning and product marketing, implementing strategies and tactics designed to better serve our audience with consistently on-brand presentation and communication of value, across all products and services.”
—Harry Metzger, PMM at Kantar
“We brought Hannah in for what started as a quick, self-contained piece of work that soon expanded to touch the entire brand positioning & user experience. Within the first hours she’d zeroed in on the core problem and proposed a solution that, like all the best consultants, felt both totally accessible and just ‘common sense’. She then led & managed the team (senior and junior) to ensure quick & effective delivery.”
—Henry Mason, Head of Trendwatching
“Hannah is a highly energetic out-of-the-box-thinker who gets stuff done. You can rely on her at all times. She’s thoughtful, and even though she sometimes asks tough questions, they are always thoughtful and contribute to solving all sorts of business problems.”
—Monika Kanokova, Co-Founder New Standard Studio
