Shuka Brand Bureau

At Shuka, I helped fintech and crypto clients translate their ambition into relevance—positioning them for European growth with clarity, courage, and cultural nuance.

Client Business Problem:

  • Clients struggled to connect with European and US markets.
  • Lack of clarity on how to position products across diverse segments.
  • Needed brand strategy that aligned business goals with customer expectations.


Audience-level challenges:

  • Audiences unsure how to engage with complex fintech/crypto offers.

  • Cultural disconnect between brand voice and market expectations.

  • Distrust and noise in a saturated digital landscape.

Outcome

Client Business Problem:

  • Clear brand architecture and positioning across multiple products.
  • Cultural storytelling aligned with market needs and investor expectations.
  • Upsold a €22k project by reframing value through strategic insight.

What the client got:

the results

“Shane worked with us at Shuka as a brand strategist on two key accounts, where he demonstrated a gift for storytelling and seamlessly weaving narratives into compelling presentations. He led research projects, delivered outstanding presentations, and communicated effectively throughout. Shane is easy to work with, exceptionally committed, and consistently solution-oriented. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented and reliable brand strategist.”
