Marketing Strategist & Brand Advisor

The brands that win in the long run are making different decisions today.

One focused session is usually enough to clarify a decision you've been circling for weeks. I work with founders and leadership teams who want to build something that lasts.

Most marketing thinking expires with the trend cycle. The frameworks that outlast it are worth the investment.

Science-backed

Built on Ehrenberg-Bass Institute research and Byron Sharp's laws of brand growth. Decades of peer-reviewed evidence, translated into frameworks you can apply.

Long-term thinking

Sustainable positions compound over years. Consistent positioning, distinctive assets, and genuine understanding of your buyers: that combination builds the kind of brand that holds.

Applied theory

The best theory is directly actionable. Every framework I use translates into a next step you can take tomorrow.

Customer clarity

Getting clear on who you actually serve, and why they care, is where strategy becomes durable. Every other decision compounds from there.

How we work together

Full service detail
Project-based

Focused Strategic Projects

Some challenges need more than one session.

I work with you on a specific strategic challenge: refining your positioning, shaping a go-to-market approach, or working out where you stand competitively. The output is something you can act on immediately.

Scope, deliverable, and timeline fixed before we begin.

Ongoing Advisory Support

If you want a trusted partner over time.

Regular advisory sessions keep your strategy sharp, help you prioritize effectively, and ensure your decisions stay aligned as markets and priorities change.

Structured enough to deliver. Flexible enough to adapt.

David Göz

Marketing Strategist & Startup Coach

Working with founders, CMOs, and marketing leadership teams.

I'm a marketing strategist and brand advisor with roots in brand consulting. I work with established businesses that want to reconnect with what actually drives growth, and with startups building solid marketing foundations from the start.

My approach is deliberately slow: I focus on evergreen strategy, timeless principles, and what the research actually says about how brands grow. The aim is work that compounds: frameworks that hold up as platforms change and trends cycle through.
