Hi, I am Jan,
your brand's best friend from Bali, who's working while you snooze.

You’re leading a brand, running a business, or working in a creative agency, and got tons of great ideas. But with all the meetings and never-ending side tasks, you feel buried under a mountain of to-dos, struggling to focus on what really matters?

Believe me, I’ve been there. I’ve been you. That’s why today I’m here to step in, lighten the load, and help you bring those ideas to life without sacrificing your own. As a Brand Strategist with 20 years’ experience, I build and grow brands, bringing clarity and creativity to your Brand Strategy, Identity, and Marketing.

Being based in Bali puts me a good four to seven hours ahead of Europe and the Middle East. Combined with cutting-edge AI copilots, this time advantage lets me stir things up while you wind down, achieving progress almost magically overnight.

I help brands achieve sustainable success overnight. Literally.

    Jan’s strategic strength is unrivaled – he combines experience with an exceptional feel for brands at the highest level. He effortlessly pulls ideas out of his hat. The fact that he often delivers them almost overnight not only makes the collaboration incredibly efficient but also invaluable for time-critical projects. For me, the most important thing is that it is always fun to think, develop, and discuss with Jan – he is constructive, relaxed, humorous, and incredibly productive.
