I am on a mission to level out the international playing field for ESL entrepreneurs by developing their marketing communications in English and helping them build global brands.

My methods are based on the brand equity framework developed by the father of branding, David Aaker in 1990, which has been used by millions of businesses to build strong brands. ?? I&apos;ve been recognised for my contribution to the field of marketing and advertising by Marketing 2.0 - the Global Gathering of Brand Builders and Marketers - with an Outstanding Leadership Award. ?? I graduated top of my class with Distinction from my MSc in International Marketing, and my dissertation on brand equity building for services was one of the strongest research pieces of the year. ??
