    Imagine marketing as the bridge that connects you to your customers, not just as a tool to sell something. It’s about understanding their needs, speaking to their hearts, and creating a relationship that goes beyond the transaction. In this world, your marketing isn’t just pushing a product; it’s telling a story that invites your customers to be part of something bigger. It’s about the long-term impact you make together, and that’s where true growth begins.

  • Nick Blandford | Principal and Lead Consultant

    With nearly two decades of experience shaping marketing strategies across industries and continents, I’ve built a career grounded in the belief that marketing is not just about selling—it’s about connecting, telling impactful stories, and making a difference. I’ve had the privilege of leading marketing efforts for diverse clients, from VCs in Kenya aiming to alleviate energy poverty, to global sustainability leaders, and even Californian architecture firms pushing the boundaries of design. My journey has taken me around the world, from advising countless global executives in energy efficiency and industrial automation, to working with impact investment financial planners, helping them amplify their mission for a profitable and resilient planet.

    I’ve held marketing and communications leadership roles in large multi-national corporations, where I led cross-functional teams, developed global strategies, and executed campaigns that resonate with audiences while driving business results. On the flip side, I’ve also worked with solo entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to take their first steps with marketing to expand their reach while harnessing the power of effective and meaningful storytelling. Along the way, I’ve continually sought to deepen my expertise, pursuing advanced education in leadership and sustainability at institutions like the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Sweden, MIT, the University of Tokyo, Chalmers University, ETH Zürich, and the University of Victoria.

    What truly drives me is the opportunity to use storytelling and strategic marketing as a force for good. Whether it’s working with sustainable businesses, helping companies tell their authentic stories, or being an Executive in Residence at Foresight Canada, I’m passionate about leveraging my skills to make a positive impact. Connecting with people, building relationships, and creating strategies that not only achieve business objectives but also move the needle on global challenges—that’s the work I’m most proud of.

    If you’re looking for a clever marketing leader with years of experience, a passion for fun storytelling, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference, I’d love to connect. Let’s tell your story.
