Brand Strategist & Activation Agent. Translating vision to value, driving meaningful impact. We know that as brands and leaders, to drive growth, we must deliver meaningful value, create a memorable impact, and forge lasting connections with the audiences we serve. Yet, so little time is spent on understanding the value we have, the impact we want to make, and the connections we want to nurture. I founded Valmana in 2017, a consultancy that supports clients in unleashing the power within, whether it's brand teams searching for more meaning, or organisations and individuals looking to find more power in their leadership. I work with clients across different sectors and industries, delivering training and facilitating discussions, workshops, and coaching sessions to empower individuals and brands to maximise their potential. By exploring and interrogating the brand experience, we ensure consistent, confident delivery across all touchpoints, creating lasting impressions.

Work Background

Valmana LtdFounder

Aug. 2017Durham, England, United KingdomAs the founder of Valmana, I'm on a mission to empower Brands, Leaders and Organisations to articulate who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I have seen firsthand the profound impact of generating aligned action and creating remarkable experiences for customers, clients, employees, and shareholders. Together, we unlock more of their potential. Brands typically want my help to: * Clarify and capture their purpose, character, beliefs and voice. * Facilitate discussions involving Archetypal theory - creating more understanding of who the brand is, the audience they serve and their ideal partnership fit. * Explore brand activations and experiences that deliver across multiple touchpoints. Leaders typically want my help to: * Connect them with their unique Strengths and Capabilities, giving them the winning edge in overcoming feelings of overwhelm and aimlessness. * Hold them accountable to their goals and provide future-focused feedback - drawing out more desired behaviours and dissolving old habits. * Navigate challenges involving team dynamics and organisational politics; providing guidance and support in developing effective strategies to overcome obstacles. Organisations typically want my help to: * Articulate their Vision, Mission, Values and Beliefs to drive consistent behaviour internally and create a clear and compelling experience externally. * Provide development support to leadership teams by running workshops, away days and individual coaching sessions to foster inclusivity, collaboration and commitment to excellence. * Design, develop, and deploy cultural initiatives with clear performance criteria to create a collaborative, effective workplace, making the most of everyone's contribution. Whether you want to define your brand identity and strategy, enhance your leadership capabilities, cultivate your company culture or simply geek out over archetypes, I'd love to hear from you.

vinspiredTeam v Leader

Sep. 2013 - Sep. 2014Since 2006, Vinspired has been a beacon for young volunteers and leaders, igniting the passion for community service among thousands in the UK. Our journey began with a simple, yet powerful mission: to expand youth volunteering opportunities and make a lasting impact. I was fortunate enough to tackle three campaigns I really care about: - Creating a sustainable generation (doing our bit to eliminate fast fashion) - Love is? (educating young people about healthy relationships) - Routes to roots (understanding and appreciating the journies of migrant families)
