About

I'm Bizhan (say the 'zh' like the 's' in casual), a freelance Integrated Strategy Director helping make the complex clear, and the clear compelling. I mix sharp strategic thinking and creative, non-linear insight to help agencies and brands uncover what really matters, then shaping that into its most useful form. Teams come to me for my clarity and strategy craft, but they come back because I bring calm, curiosity and humanity to the work. I lead pitch strategy, shape brand narratives, facilitate workshops, and build campaigns that have business impact. I’m here to make the process feel as smooth and energising as the output. I’ve worked across cultures and categories, from wellbeing to retail, from finance to FMCG. Always curious, always collaborative, always pushing the thinking further. Specialisms: Positioning, Campaign Strategy, Integrated Strategy, Brand Planning, Content Strategy, Social Strategy, Influence. Select clients: lululemon, British Airways, Shangri-La, Spotify, Unilever (Vaseline, Pond's Knorr, Domestos), Pernod Ricard, ESPRIT, Korean Air, SKODA
