People & Adoption

Why Most AI Pilots Never Make It to Production

Many pilots work in a demonstration and then disappear because nobody owns the decision to put them into production — and nobody budgeted for what happens after the demo.

AI adoption fails when it is treated as a technology project instead of a commercial and operating change. A dashboard nobody uses in a real decision meeting is also a process-design problem.

The practical question is: who is accountable for using this in a real decision next quarter? If that cannot be answered, there is a pilot, not a plan.

Leadership & Judgement

What Running Someone Else's P&L Taught Me That No MBA Does

I founded Brand Here in 2015. Five years later, I stepped away to work in-house at a multinational pharmaceutical company, managing brands and portfolios I had not built myself.

The agency years taught me how to build something from nothing. The corporate years taught me how to make a plan survive contact with a large organisation. Brand Here, this time, is built on both.

Brand & Marketing

The PR Industry Is Shrinking. Here's What Founders Should Do Instead.

Traditional PR channels have changed, but the underlying need remains: getting the right message in front of the right decision-makers, credibly.

The useful discipline is to get precise about who needs to hear from you and build the shortest credible path to them. The tool matters less than knowing exactly who you are trying to reach and why they should care.
