FEATURED IN:

What You’re Building Deserves to Be Understood

You’ve got a strong vision. You’re here to do meaningful work, and you know it’s not enough to just “show up online.”

You need a brand that clarifies your value, sharpens your edge, and builds emotional equity from day one.
Whether you’re still validating your offer or you’re gearing up to scale, strategic branding is your unfair advantage.

Michelle McCarthy
Brand Strategist, Creative Director, Founder of Studio Danu

I’ve spent over 15 years helping founders, VCs, and global brands position themselves with precision and personality.

These days, I partner with early-stage and growth-ready businesses to define their brand from the inside out, with strategy, identity, and creative campaigns that cut through.

Clients work with me when they want to launch differently, lead confidently, and show up in-market with substance.

Brands without strategy burn budget.
