Human-led Strategy
at the Speed of AI.
Strategy you can scale.
Experience you can’t prompt.
Brand Novus helps senior leaders design advantage in an AI-powered world through brand strategy, AI transformation, and ongoing strategic intelligence.
We work with CEOs, CMOs, and executive teams navigating growth, complexity, and AI-driven change.
Most organizations are moving faster with AI, but struggling to make coherent decisions.
We lead with human judgment, accelerate with AI, and build brand, culture, and execution systems that scale without losing clarity.
The Human Advantage, Designed.
We help brands turn human judgment into action in an AI-powered world..
We design for transformation, not just ideas.
AI accelerates execution. Human judgment sets direction.
We work where brand, design, and behavior meet.
We bring real innovation experience, not theory.
We help leadership teams make clear decisions in complex situations.
Built on Lived Experience
With 30+ years of leadership at P&G, Kraft, Intel, and Ethicon, we bring real-world judgment, context, and direction to brand and AI decisions. We use AI to accelerate insight, but we rely on decades of boardroom experience to provide the judgment, context, and direction machines can't.
Your People.
Your Brand.
AI will make a lot of brands faster. It will not make them better.
In a world of automated output, competitive advantage comes from human judgment, creative direction, and strategic clarity. We call that difference the Human-AI Delta.
Brand Novus is built around expanding that gap. It’s why we lead with brand strategy, why we protect creative judgment, and why we treat AI as an amplifier, not the author.
Strategy Designed to be Used.
Most strategies die in a slide deck. Ours live in your decisions. This work sits with CEOs and executive teams where brand, growth, and AI decisions converge.
Together, these capabilities help leadership teams set direction, scale execution, and evolve strategy as conditions change.
HUMAN-LED BRAND STRATEGY
Define Your Advantage. In a world where AI accelerates execution, advantage is defined by human judgment.
We believe brand strategy must align people, shape decisions, and create clarity at speed. We lead with human insight, using AI to accelerate understanding and define a direction teams can act on.
Focus: Insights, Positioning, Brand Architecture, Communication Strategy, and Team Alignment.
HUMAN-LED AI TRANSFORMATION
Amplify Your Output. AI only creates value when people know how to use it well.
ONGOING INTELLIGENCE
Evolve with Confidence. Staying ahead is not about more information. It’s about knowing what matters early.
Brand Novus provides ongoing, AI-enabled strategic intelligence for brands. We continuously monitor cultural and category signals so leaders can pressure-test decisions and evolve brand strategy in real time.
Focus: Trend Monitoring, Category Signaling, and Real-Time Strategy Evolution.

Our approach integrates AI into workflows and creative systems to expand the Human-AI Delta and deliver measurable ROI.
