Brand Positioning
Originating distinctive, defensible positioning grounded in your specific commercial reality, competitive context, and long-term growth ambitions.
- • Market Audits
- • Value Proposition
- • Competitor Analysis
Most businesses don't need more marketing.
They need a clearer brand.
I help founders and SMEs close the gap between how they intend to be perceived and how they actually are. Based in London and working remotely UK-wide, I deliver sharp positioning, coherent brand identity, and marketing direction that builds long-term brand equity and sustainable commercial value.
The Strategist
About Nadine
I am Nadine Benjamin BA (Hons), ACIM — a freelance Brand & Marketing Strategist based in London. My practice is built on a foundation of clear communication, commercial reality, and rigorous market orientation, and I work with founders and SMEs across the UK and beyond, entirely on a remote basis.
My work focuses exclusively on helping founders and growing businesses gain absolute clarity around who they are, what they offer, and how they communicate their unique value to the market.
I combine formal marketing education with practical, objective strategic thinking. Having completed my CIM certification in Marketing and Brand Strategy, my practice integrates the most current, chartered-level strategic frameworks available.
I believe branding is not about appearing larger than you are. It is about making it infinitely easier for the exact right people to understand, trust, and ultimately choose your business.
"Nadine was great to work with, very professional with superior communication. She did not have the easiest task from me, but conscientiously made sure I had everything to my satisfaction. Would definitely hire again."

Information
Common Questions
How do you work with clients?
My engagements are bespoke, tailored to the specific commercial reality of your business. This ranges from intensive remote strategy workshops to longer-term, retained consultancy partnerships.
What do you require from my team to begin?
Prior to commencement, I require access to existing customer data, current brand assets, business objectives, and dedicated time from key internal stakeholders during the discovery phase.
Are you willing to sign an NDA?
Absolutely. I frequently work with pre-launch brands, proprietary tech, and sensitive commercial data. I am fully prepared to sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement before our initial discovery phase to ensure your intellectual property is protected.
Do you take on ad hoc or short-term work?
While I specialise in comprehensive brand architecture, I do offer ad hoc strategic consultations and short-term project support. For smaller tasks requiring immediate, high-level direction, my introductory consultancy rate is £120 per hour. I highly recommend booking a 'Strategic Power Hour' for rapid clarity on pressing brand bottlenecks.
Do you handle the creative execution?
I provide the strategic foundation, the 'blueprint', including positioning, narrative, and tone of voice. While I do not directly execute visual design or daily copywriting, my frameworks ensure your chosen creative agencies can execute flawlessly and on-brand.
Do you only work with London businesses?
No. London is home base, but every engagement is delivered remotely, by video call and shared documents, so your location is not a barrier to working together. In-person meetings are not offered as standard and would only be considered in exceptional circumstances.
