Independent Consultant

Brand, customer experienceand AI that actually ships.

I'm a senior consultant for brand, marketing and customer experience. I've spent my career moving between the insight and the execution — honing in on a golden insight, then planning closely with creatives on how we bring it to life.

These days that includes helping teams use AI without losing their voice: better research, faster content, sharper measurement, with human judgement kept exactly where it matters.

Amanda Sevasti, brand and customer experience consultant

One strategist. Every layer of the problem.

Brand and digital strategy, CX, content and creative development, team leadership and omni-channel marketing — across a diverse range of global brands.

01 / Brand & Comms Strategy

Find the golden insight

Positioning, messaging and integrated communication strategy that gives every channel the same spine.

02 / Customer Experience

Map the whole journey

CX and EX audits, journey mapping and UX optimisation that close the gap between promise and delivery.

03 / Content & Creative

Make the work land

Content planning, copywriting and creative direction — from the idea through to produced assets.

04 / AI in Practice

Put AI to work properly

Practical AI workflows for research, content and insight, designed around brand voice and human judgement.

05 / Insight & Measurement

Turn data into decisions

Research and data translated into insight, with benchmarking and measurement frameworks that prove ROI.

06 / Workshops & Enablement

Leave the team abler

Facilitated sessions, playbooks and crisis comms frameworks so capability stays after the engagement ends.

Selected work

Making AI actually work inside big marketing functions.

Three transformations: proving the workflow, scaling it across teams, and building the business case that funds the change.

Global B2B Warehousing & Logistics case study

AI enablement

Global B2B Warehousing & Logistics

The context
A broad ambition to make the marketing function AI-native, with nothing yet built: no agents, no templates, no prompt libraries and no secure place to run any of it.
The challenge
Turning that ambition into a replicable workflow that produced trustworthy, on-brand output rather than an impressive demo — which meant building the whole thing from scratch and making it reliable enough for the team to actually trust.
The solution
A secure enterprise AI workspace with custom agents, document templates and human-in-the-loop gates at every step. The five-user pilot proved out and converted into a twelve-month, thirty-one-user scale-up with structured training and enablement.

Global Paints & Coatings case study

AI at scale

Global Paints & Coatings

The context
Three live use cases run against three jobs to be done: train the pilot team, create real assets with the tool, and capture the learnings needed to scale across the marketing function.
The challenge
This was a people-and-process shift, not a tool roll-out. A team used to leaning on agencies found a self-service tool overwhelming — the gap was expectation, not capability.
The solution
A wave-by-wave roll-out, one team at a time, taking roughly 280 master assets to 5,600 automated variations on a path to some 14,000 assets a year — supportable by a lean two-person core team with the in-house teams trained in parallel.

Global FMCG case study

Content transformation

Global FMCG

The context
An urgent group-wide drive for cost savings, with content a significant cost driver — and no transparency over what was being made, why, or whether any of it grew the business.
The challenge
Fragmented governance with no central ownership, content created in silos by multiple teams and agencies, driving duplication, wasted spend and diluted consistency — under a deep-rooted cynicism about whether real change was possible.
The solution
An opaque operation turned into a quantified business case and transformation roadmap: a clear from-to content vision, a standardised content typology, and five workstreams each with owners, objectives and KPIs, led by a content excellence team inside marketing.

How it works

01

A conversation

Thirty minutes, no deck. You describe the problem as it actually feels; I tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it.

02

A diagnosis

A scoped look at the brand, the journey and the data — so we agree on the real problem before anyone builds a solution to the wrong one.

03

The delivery

Strategy and execution in the same pair of hands, finished with a workshop and a playbook so your team can carry it on.

About

This is me.

A journalism graduate turned copywriter turned social and digital lead turned strategist. I use years of integrated experience to craft solutions to problems — and I thrive on the nitty-gritty execution as much as on reaching the big idea.
