STORY-FIRST STRATEGY

STORY-FIRST STRATEGY

About Me

Dear Reader,

Through a global education and the experiences that took me around the world, I learned that stories are what connect us. They carry identity, emotion, and meaning, and they are how people remember, trust, and believe.

In my work, story never follows strategy. It is the strategy.
The brands that last are the ones that make people feel something real.

I like to build brands that lead with story because I want to make people feel something real.

Arggin

  • I build strategy from human behavior. Every project begins with understanding what people feel before deciding what they see.

    To me, marketing is not about persuasion. It is about translation. It turns emotion into structure, curiosity into clarity, and culture into connection.

    Luxury inspires me because it depends on restraint, detail, and narrative. A brand becomes timeless when every touchpoint tells the same story with quiet confidence.

    Core Values

    • Lead with story, not trends

    • Create with intention and purpose
