I pride myself to work exclusively with well-intentioned companies globally, bringing more purpose to the way we plan and live our lives. Here’s a few of them, and how I helped them - in their own words.

What they do: Zeste is a young French company whose mission is to inspire people to stop using plastic goods. To do so, they created the first stainless steel water bottle 100% made in France.
How I helped: I worked with Zeste early on to help them elaborate their brand and communication strategy, focusing on building a strong brand platform leading up to solid foundations for their upcoming launch.
“We brought Ben in pre-launch, to help us clarify our brand and communication strategy. His strategic recommendations were essential to Zeste’s successful launch: they gave us clarity on which fundamental strengths to focus on, starting with our values and leading up to our product. Ben focuses on actionable strategy: he provided us with readily applicable recommendations allowing us to focus our communications efforts, and we are still using these on a daily basis.”

What they do: SmartHead is the first platform allowing companies of all sizes to report, track and communicate their sustainability efforts internally and externally, all in one place. They’ve earned trust from organizations in the likes of Tesco, Dell, Citigroup or McDonald’s.
How I helped: SmartHead first contracted me to help them revamp their brand strategy and website content, and then elaborate a go-to-market B2B strategy for their key product feature.
“Our cooperation with Ben gave our company a new perspective on an effective communication strategy for our B2B product. Ben's sense of communication, strategy and his valuable experience were reflected in the results of our cooperation. Thanks to this, our company has moved to new horizons.”

What they do: The Journal of Lost Time’s mission is to encourage more purposeful travel by sharing immersive stories of history, culture, ecology, and the geology of people, places, and experiences.
How I helped: Working with the Journal of Lost Time allowed me to merge my passions for traveling, soulful creative outlets and projects well managed. I joined a talented team of videographers and photographers as a Producer, on a travel video piece about a place dear to my heart, Baja California in Mexico.
"Ben is a rare producer and project manager that is equally adept at creative strategy as he is at organization. He is a very solid problem solver, and most importantly he is also just really fun to work with."
