A Life Devoted to Design and Marketing
Founder and brand architect, creative director, marketing guru.
As creative director, I see myself as the brand custodian for our clients.
With our talented team, I work to support clients in setting and establishing a brand vision and communicating this authentically. Commercial problem solving is at the heart of everything we do. We use creativity to establish brand stories and a differentiation strategy. Management and review are important to the brand roll out, and we are there for the long term with our clients with direct and online marketing and SEO.
Russel Nouveau began his corporate image consultancy after changing tack from a career in architectural design. As a passionate lifelong learner, Russel also studied business, semiotics and change management culminating in a Master of Business Communication, writing a weighty thesis on the semiotics of visual persuasion and oh yes, a Mensa membership.
To say that this homegrown genius is driven, would be a bit of an understatement – but his real passion is to help business owners succeed and prosper. “We help business stakeholders refocus and unlock their business potential through value creation. This involves refining their branding, marketing and positioning in the marketplace. The results for our clients have been reflected in their bottom line”.
