Whether you're building from scratch or refining what exists, I help you uncover the clarity and conviction that turn your brand into a driver of real value.

Shelly Sundag - Strategic Brand Partner

About Me

I've spent 13+ years helping brands find their voice—first from the agency side, then from the inside. Now I bring that dual perspective to founders and teams who need strategic clarity without the overhead.

Learning how global campaigns are built from brief to execution. Understanding what makes ideas travel—and more importantly, what makes them stick, resonate, and drive real business impact.

Head of Global Brand

At tonies—the audio platform that grew from German startup to global phenomenon across 100+ countries—I shaped positioning, marketing strategy, led brand development, and built the creative infrastructure that turned a product into a brand families genuinely love.

AI-Guided Brand Building

The tools are powerful—but generic prompts produce generic brands. I help you select the right tools, build effective workflows, and maintain strategic oversight so AI amplifies your distinctiveness instead of erasing it.

When you need more, I'll bring the team.

Some projects need more hands. I've built a trusted network of photographers, designers, film directors, CRM specialists, animators, and creative directors who share my standards. When you work with me, you get access to them too.

Ready when you are.
