We were all blown away by what we learned and how helpful the session was. We've already implemented the new way to tackling strategy for two of our clients and it's been very successful. We are going to start adding the positioning piece as a separate meeting.Â

This is a must for freelancers who want to work more efficiently (avoiding endless client revisions), charge for their thinking, and dive into the world of strategy with confidence and structure. Nika has condensed her learnings over a long career into simple frameworks that anyone can follow. I can’t wait to start implementing with my clients.

"But I'm a Designer,
Not a Strategist"Â
I get it!
But strategy is simply thinking before doing.
Most strategists don’t go to school for it — they learn on the job, building the plane while flying (even if it might look elegant from afar).
Once you understand the basics, you can Google and AI your way through.
The truth is, you’re already doing brand strategy in your head when you design
— you just don't make that thinking visible.
So, I’ve put together the absolute essentials you need to do brand strategy yourself.
Trust me, you’ve got this!
