Thank you very much for the BrandQuest. I have never seen such a complete report or briefing in my professional life and I think you bring a lot of value to the people who choose to hire you, I am very happy and I think it was the best choice to put myself in your hands.

Alexandra was a great help in creating our startup pitch deck. She managed to put into words what we as founders weren’t able to describe succinctly. In addition, Alexandra gave our pitch deck an easy to follow structure and had some great input on the design elements and consistency. I would highly recommend her!

I met Alexandra in a workshop where she told her founding journey. I identified with her immediately and felt like I needed to know more. Funnily enough, she felt the same. When she heard about my many business ideas and motivation, she suggested a BrandQuest workshop. It was the best for a broke and clueless entrepreneur like me. After an intense 3 hour session, I now have clarity about my brand and the steps I have to take. I already used some of her suggestions in my work because she is so spot on with her analysis. Alexandra is a fun and enthusiastic person who is full of creative ideas. I can highly recommend this workshop with her.

Alex, thank you! I’ve felt like a hamster on a wheel for a while now – always running but never really getting anywhere. The BrandQuest really opened my eyes! It feels like I’ve reinvented my business – and the initial reactions from my customers have been amazing!

BrandQuest was a game-changer for our startup, providing a clear roadmap and spot-on branding that helped us attract our first investors.

Alex took the time to understand my startup’s history, evolution, personality and values – all important elements I wanted to portray in the brand. Alex is not only extremely talented in design, but also a focused strategist. She is professional, goes above and beyond – nothing is ever a problem, and she delivers what she promises. If you are looking for an agency to help you bring your brand vision to life, you are in great hands! Thank you.

We were totally focused on fundraising and finding investors, but somehow our app was neglected. Alexandra showed us how we can get started right away with a simple bootstrap approach. We’re already getting our first user feedback with our MVP. That’s worth its weight in gold – not only for us, but also for future discussions with investors!

I first worked with Alexandra on my personal brand as a yoga teacher. She nailed the brief for a personality-driven design and was able to make everything launch-ready. She also helped us with our yoga training project by identifying the brand personality, creating an ideal client profile, delivering a brand manual and of course the design. Alexandra’s ability to listen, understand my brands and deliver projects in a creative way makes her a pleasure to work with.

What can I say? It was as if someone had switched on the light! Thank you, Alex!

Absolutely reliable and dependable. The creative ideas were great and helped us a lot. Above all, the personal touch in the support was very important to us. She was there for us with all our concerns.
