Hi, I'm Kofi

I help Ambitious Startups and Growing Businesses

Kofi-story-workshop

I’ve spent the past 20+ years working with individuals and organizations across geographies and industries, helping them bring new, unique brands and experiences into the world. In my experience, the most successful brands are the ones that were faster, smarter, and better prepared to adapt and respond to changes quickly.

If you want to get clear about your value, create memorable ways to talk about what you offer and to attract more clients, and grow your business you’re in the right place.

I’m in the business of making CREATIVE, CULTURAL, & COMMERCIAL IMPACT!
