Hello, I am Mariela Albornoz. Brand strategist based in Scotland.
Big picture thinking, sharp strategy for brands that refuse to blend in — and want to stand for something instead.
What I do best
Strategy that sharpens, simplifies, and shifts perspective.
I care about work that makes sense. Work that makes people feel. Work that leads to something better.
Brand Strategy
Positioning, architecture, narrative, naming — I help define the core idea that everything else should ladder up to. The goal? Brand clarity with commercial weight.
Employer Branding
I build employer brands people believe in — by aligning leadership vision, employee reality, and creative ambition. From EVP frameworks to full internal rollout strategies.
Messaging & Voice
Words matter. I develop messaging systems and tone of voice guides that help teams say the right things in the right way — consistently. Across channels, teams, and moments that count.
Research & Insight
I uncover the truths that brands need to hear — through global qualitative and quantitative research. From cultural nuance to behavioural shifts, I turn human insight into solid strategic direction.
