Our focus is on helping businesses develop fresh new strategies that will help them get ahead and stay ahead in today’s increasingly competitive world. We work collaboratively with leadership teams in the UK and overseas, bringing an independent perspective, fresh insight, great ideas and strategic clarity to help them unleash new business potential. Our clients use us for a wide range of tasks to find solutions to many different customer and market facing challenges; our projects come in many different shapes and sizes. At their simplest, we’re used to help bring a new perspective into ad-hoc workshops that will question, challenge, stimulate thought and explore new possibilities. At their most complex, we will look in depth at a client’s market, how the business is positioned and what a winning value proposition requires, now and in future. Depending on client needs, we may then engage in more detailed brand strategy work, exploring how their business can stand out from its competitors, establish a real competitive edge and build excellent long-term value. In addition to one-off projects, we also work as ‘trusted advisor’, keeping a regular watching eye as clients’ strategies and marketing campaigns unfold.I co-founded Octant Strategic in 2014 with award winning marketing and brand strategist Chris Harvey. We’re now very fortunate to be supported by luminaries, Merry Baskin, Phil Ley and Steve Cook, forming a team that has a huge breadth of worldwide business, marketing and brand strategy experience that spans small start-ups to major global brands in many different sectors and in both B2B and B2C markets. www.octantstrategic.com Show less
