Stanislas Gruel

Marketing Clarifier

For over 20 years, I’ve clarified complexity.

With creative expertise sharpened by strategic insight — and a healthy scepticism toward the usual buzzword parade of the trade, I help brands bring structure, direction and clarity to their marketing.

I stand for:

Marketing that speaks clearly.

Project management that aligns.

Strategy that turns data into direction.

Creativity structured to deliver.

And with all that, I’ve made a few enemies:

Presentations that lead nowhere.

Tools mistaken for strategy.

The myth that AI replaces excellence, though it can surely support it

What I can help with

Marketing audit

A clear diagnosis of what works, what doesn’t – and how AI fits in.

Strategic positioning

Clarifying your offer, value and place in the market. Making sure your brand fits.

Brand storytelling

Connecting purpose, voice, and audience inside and out of the organisation.

Ethical marketing & data

Helping brands stay true, clear, and aware, from privacy to sustainability.

Agencies I've worked in

Brands I’ve collaborated with

Awards & recognition
