I’m Dan Brocklebank — a senior marketing and brand strategy consultant with over 14 years’ experience helping brands and agencies create work that connects with real people and drives real business results.
I’ve worked across leading agencies, global platforms, and some of the world’s most iconic brands — sharpening brand positioning, unlocking campaign clarity, and helping teams make smarter use of content and digital channels.
I believe great marketing lives at the intersection of strategy and storytelling — and I love helping clients strike that balance.
Based in South Africa but working globally, I partner with clients across industries and geographies — whether as a senior strategic lead, a trusted advisor to refine direction, or extra firepower for an upcoming pitch.
If you need clear thinking, credible experience, and commercially-minded strategy — I’d love to help.
