Hi, I’m Mélanie,
Brand Strategy Consultant.


I help companies & startups find their unique positioning and storytell their value, so they can rise above the noise and accelerate their business growth.

Born in France and raised in the USA, I have been shaped by both cultures – my approach blends French precision with American storytelling. I have worked with iconic global brands like Volkswagen, LVMH and Coca-Cola, as well as innovative startups like Cailabs and Hackuity. I teach brand strategy at CELSA Paris Sorbonne for Masters and MBA programs, and am co-author of three branding books.

Let’s elevate
your brand together.

  • I have a unique approach, inspired by the psychologist Carl Jung's archetypes. Finding your archetype is the starting point to identifying how your brand should speak, act and feel.

  • I create your brand’s ID card. A brand platform captures its vision, mission, values, personality, USP, and benefits. It serves as a foundational tool that aligns internal teams and guides all external communications.

  • I define what your brand stands for, come up with a language charter of words you should use (and avoid) and write a manifesto that captures your story with clarity and impact.

  • I write key messages tailored for each communication channel, from your website, social media posts, advertising, press releases etc.

  • I provide guidelines on cultural do's and don'ts and adapt your key messaging for successful entry into new markets.

  • After building the foundations, I work with trusted partners who can develop your brand design - logo, graphic charter, advertisements etc.
