MY STORY

YOUR STORY IS MY STORY

I’m Joe Dodgshun, a Brand Strategy & Storytelling Consultant helping impact scale-ups live up to their potential to drive environmental or social change. With 13 years’ experience and a wide range of partners, I distil strategic clarity and core stories to convince those who will enable you to scale your solution.

My career began in Antarctica, covering climate research as a NZ journalism graduate. I later moved to Europe, immersed myself in Berlin’s start-up scene and gravitated towards social enterprise and cleantech as a comms consultant.

I’ve since worked with changemaker networks, cleantech scale-ups, progressive SMEs and communication agencies. On everything from brand strategy and development to impact reporting. See some of the work and their testimonials below!

Now splitting my time between the Black Forest city of Freiburg and the meseta metropolis of Madrid, I help you uncover the best brand strategy and stories for scaling your solutions.
