Ben in a few words

How do you fuel new vision, long term? How do you solve problems creatively and grow?

Whether you’re launching a new product or service, rebranding or defining your mission as an organisation, well-researched narrative is key. And so are the right metaphors, visual and verbal.

We work with corporates, NGOs and start-ups to find the right narrative - and the right medium - to get the job done.

Clients include: ABB, Coca-Cola, Conservation International, EY, Pukka Herbs, Mayer Brown, Sanofi, Survival International and start-ups like RokBox and Hanwha-Phasor.

Fiona Greig - Hanwha Phasor

3/21/2023

I have used Ben for people profiles. He is a sensitive interviewer and provides insightful editorial with compelling headlines using the advertiser's gift for clever slogans that draw one in. He has also worked with me in previous roles, as in my present one, on recruitment campaigns, again, diligently teasing out what really counts in an organisation's employee brand. Ben has a good mind, which means that he can make sense of complexity that would leave most copywriters behind.
