Testimonials
We worked with Emily on our re-brand to Ergo It was an insightful and enjoyable process that helped us completely re-think and re-visualize our brand. The process of analysis, discovery, ideation and refining was well organized and methodical. I’d absolutely work again with KOUSAH&CO on branding and creative projects!
Tim WettonFounder, ErgoJULY 2021
KOUSAH&CO doesn’t operate like a small branding agency. Emily’s approach, client service, and overall output are as good, if not better than you’d get from a big established agency. We thoroughly enjoyed the exploration journey that Emily took us on, we discovered many wonderful things about our brand, and we got fantastic value and results in the end.
CHARLOTTE MURRAYMANAGING DIRECTOR, ALIVEMARCH, 2021
KOUSAH&CO led our rebrand from start to completion with passion & focus. Emily led the strategy and creative direction working with her team of collaborators to deliver a dynamic brand identity and visual brand world that we’re excited and proud to share. Since initial foundation work the team have gone on to find solutions to all our roll out requests from complete website design, copywriting, pitch videos and EDMs. Working with Emily & team is always fun and highly professional.

Emily & the @KOUSAH&CO team are a joy to work with.
They provide strategic thinking & clear creative direction that then translates into impactful and iconic designs.
They take the right amount of time to understand our business context and needs and balance that with the creative ambition. We always get the best results on our briefs with less to-and-fro-ing
We’ve worked with the team now for about a year and they remain consistent in their extremely responsive and agile servicing as well as great creative delivery. They really do provide us with everything the big agencies do but more efficiently and cost-effectively.

As I started my own business, I immediately identified the necessity of a strong brand. After some serious struggles with Fiverr, I had the chance to meet Emily from KOUSAH&CO, and together we embarked on this fabulous branding journey leading to LAZULI.
Emily and her team helped me develop my brand, from the design to the vision, the values, the positioning and the personality. She inspired me to create a strong and beautiful story to represent my company.
Emily strives to be the best she can be at all times, with a unique mix of intelligence, creativity and coaching, I’ve had a wonderful experience and I can highly recommend KOUSAH&CO to anyone looking for the same branding experience.

“I met Emily last fall at a conference in LA and was impressed with her eye for style.
I myself have an eye for detail and have thought that when I was ready to create my program branding that I would hire her.
That time has come and my instincts were correct. Emily is professional and efficient.
She has a high standard for excellence and a high degree of integrity. Working with her has been a pleasure. Furthermore, I LOVE the branding that she created as perfectly captures the essence of my business. I will use her for all my future branding needs and highly recommend her.”

KOUSAH&CO have worked tirelessly from start to finish on the biggest repositioning and redesign in the history of our brand. I can’t recommend them enough.
From our initial introductory conversation Emily has delivered on all her promises to us – from putting together the perfect team and running the project throughout, from stakeholdering and workshops to creative phases and final guidelines handover – she helped guide and reassure us at each key point. Throughout, she kept us moving forward, giving us the confidence we needed when we needed it.
We were told we could have the quality and dedication of big agency teams for a fraction of the budget. We really feel we got this and more. We’re so excited to get the new brand look and feel out into the public domain.

She brought the right mix of strategic inquisitiveness and creative opinion to the project. Her process led approach to the exercise helped craft a strong and consistent identity across all elements.

“Embarking on a new venture involving the development of a creative glass recycling business, I knew I needed a strong brand to capture a sense of creative excellence fused with a passion for sustainability.
KOUSAH&CO came highly recommended and during our initial meetings I understood why. Intelligent, professional and efficient, Emily (KOUSAH&CO’s Founder) effectively understood what was needed. She helped establish simple strategic foundations for the business and found the right creatives to develop the brand identity and associated branding design assets package.
An added benefit was the team’s great time management skills – we got the branding, marketing and design guide together in record time. Highly recommended!”

Emily led the agency team running all of our strategic brands design work when I was CMO in China. She brought passion, energy and a fresh perspective on how to build our brands to stand out more uniquely in their various competitive categories.
She led much of the strategic direction supported by creative planners and design teams, demonstrating a real understanding of our market needs coupled with her vast experience in global branding know-how.
Whilst continuing to challenge us to push creatively she also consistently demonstrated a sensitivity to our changing needs and any concerns along the way. Myself and my team always felt we could trust her to find the right balance and path forward.

Emily sets the bar above the T. She brings new dimensions to traditionally framed problems. She understands the context and quickly frames the narrative and framework on how to bring your ideas forward with a punch and flair that brands and companies so often is missing.

I have known and worked with Emily for over 14 years. I partnered with Emily to deliver two significant rebrands and she is one of the most trusted consultancy partners I’ve ever come across.
Her ability to understand brand and business challenges to help define relevant brand strategies is second to none. She has focus, passion and drive. She is able to seamlessly meld creative know-how, strategy and practical ways of working to define the best path from start to finish.
She’s able to flex both process and scope to suit different business needs (and budgets!) without ever taking her eye off the ball in delivering the best possible solutions. And she truly champions the brand throughout to push and challenge the teams along the way to be braver and bolder. Working with Emily is an absolute pleasure, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
