Defining a new direction for a global brand consultancy

As The Mood Project approached its 20th anniversary in 2021, the founders wanted their brand to better reflect the scale and maturity of the work and to support more confident international growth.

The starting point

With the leadership team focused on client delivery, there was a need for someone who could step back, look at the agency clearly, and help them to reach new audiences. The Mood Project had deep expertise and an impressive client portfolio, but the brand hadn't kept pace with their ambition or international reach.

Working closely with the strategy and creative leads, I facilitated a vision and strategy workshop to clarify the agency's positioning, purpose and ideal client profile.

"Let's Create the Right Mood" — the brand idea that became the agency's core identity.
Brand positioning

After leading a series of brand strategy workshops with the team, I developed a brand development proposal, repositioning the agency to attract larger, international clients. The brand idea I presented gave the agency a clear, confident platform to talk about what they do and how to frame their offer, staying true to the essence of their own brand.

From strategy to delivery

From there, I led the translation of strategy into practice, working with the Strategic Director to shape the website structure and content, defining case study narratives, briefing photography, and supporting the team to tell a more coherent and confident story about their own work, while their minds were on client work.

The collaboration continued when I was invited to join international client projects, working as a brand consultant on brand transformation projects for companies in renewable energy, sustainable real estate, and SaaS finance.

Santy Monteys
Strategic Director · The Mood Project
In Spain, we have a nice saying, in the blacksmith's house, wooden spoon. This is what was happening to us as a branding consultancy. We were struggling to identify our own essence and convey it in the right way, mainly due to a lack of internal priority as well as an external fresh point of view. So, we decided to collaborate with Nina on our own brand strategy project and website conceptualisation. Nina guided the process and workshops in a really nice and professional way. We felt really comfortable, enjoyed the journey, and, yes, we obtained the result we were looking for. Expectations more than fulfilled. I really recommend Nina as a brand consultant and project manager.
