Where Strategy Meets Storytelling
Refined through diplomatic gifting at the highest levels, this approach transforms every gift into a strategic tool—one where your branding, storytelling, symbolism, and presentation work together to strengthen relationships and advance your objectives.
The Five-Step Process
-
Discovery Call
Schedule discovery call. We explore your objectives, relationships, and constraints. Before the call, you'll complete a brief questionnaire so our time together is focused and strategic. This conversation ensures we design gifts that serve your actual business goals.
-
Consulting Agreement & Statement of Work
You receive a detailed proposal outlining the strategic approach, scope, timeline, and investment. This ensures complete alignment before any paid work begins. No work starts until you approve the SOW.
-
Research, Strategy & Gift Design
I design gifts where every layer works together—your branding, the objects and symbolism, the presentation, the narrative. Drawing on diplomatic gifting experience, I optimize each element to advance your strategic objectives and strengthen relationships.
-
The Grand Unveiling: Your Curated Gift Options
This is where strategy becomes tangible.
I present curated gift concepts where every element works together strategically. You'll see complete solutions—not just objects, but integrated approaches with branding, narrative, and presentation designed to achieve your goals. We refine until everything aligns with your vision.
-
Execution & Fulfillment
Once selections are finalized, I provide a second SOW outlining production costs, customization details, timelines, and logistics.
After approval, I manage the entire process—vendor coordination, quality control, packaging, shipping—with the same precision and discretion I brought to diplomatic gifting. You receive updates at key milestones, and nothing ships without your final approval.
What This Looks Like In Practice
For milestone moments or high-stakes relationships:
For Pivotal Moments: One-of-a-kind commissioned pieces or symbolic artifacts for board meetings, major client milestones, executive transitions—where every element must advance your most important relationships.
For Key Relationships: Curated gift strategies for top clients, strategic partners, and high-value stakeholders—designed to deepen loyalty, demonstrate understanding, and differentiate your organization from competitors.
For Organizational Programs: Comprehensive gifting systems for employee recognition, new hire onboarding, client appreciation—where strategic consistency meets personalization at scale, ensuring every gift reinforces your mission and values.
For Campaigns & Product Launches: Narrative-driven gifts that extend your brand impact, reinforce positioning, and turn announcements into memorable experiences that resonate long after the moment.
Every engagement is tailored to your objectives, constraints, and the relationships that matter most.
Cost: Determined after the Discovery Call, based on project scale, complexity, and services selected.
Investment and Timeline
Discovery Call: Complimentary
Consulting fees are determined after the Discovery Call based on:
Project scope and complexity
Number of gift concepts to be developed
Research depth required
Timeline considerations
Typical consulting engagements for corporate clients range from $2,500+ depending on scale. Single high-stakes gifts may require less; comprehensive gifting programs require more.
Production and fulfillment costs (vendors, customization, shipping) are separate and outlined in the execution SOW. I work within your budget parameters to maximize impact.
Timeline: Most projects move from Discovery Call to final delivery within 6–12 weeks, depending on customization requirements. Rush timelines are possible for an additional fee.
