Building HERO BRANDS for Solopreneurs through Brand Strategy + Design Frameworks + Hero Systems → Reducing Content Design efforts by 70% + Improving Brand Recall → attracting PREMIUM clients consistently.

Everyone says, ‘Build your Brand Identity’, that's the best way people relate, connect, and remember you.
It’s easier to say than to ‘Create’ your HERO BRAND Identity.

I’ve seen:

➔  Amazing people lost in trying different ways to create a cohesive Brand Identity on Social.
➔  Consistently write good content, but get stuck when putting it into a good design that attracts engagement.
➔  People feel disconnected from their Branding and give up because they don’t see the results and quit only to make it worse.

👇 This is how ONE of my clients reached out:

"I feel overwhelmed and don't know how and where to start.

There was a time when I wasn't overly critical of myself, but now I just have a sort of paralysis when it comes to Branding & Designing Content.

The very thought of all this has left me procrastinating for months."

🎓 After being on my 1:1 Champions Program 🏆

"Joining your Champions Program was the best decision that I have made in 2022.

I was looking for a Coach who could help me with Brand Strategy & Brand Design to attract my ideal clients and build a brand that could help me stand out.

I could have easily seen myself wasting 100’s of hours, thankfully this program gave me a ton of value.

Balaji, you’ve always been encouraging, patient, and available for any guidance/support throughout the program, making the entire experience so rich and seamless."

Olympic Coach, High-Performance Consultant & Research Assistant

Science x Branding x Differentiation = [LOADING... come back tomorrow]

👋 👋 Hello!

You're on my profile, so here's a bit about me 👇👇

What I do is simple: 

I help businesses make smarter decisions by understanding how people *actually* behave—not how we *wish* they would.

This might surprise you: 

Most branding agencies build beautiful art projects with your money. They celebrate Instagram likes while your sales stay flat. They spend weeks debating colors instead of focusing on what makes you special in the market. They take your key business & brand foundations and bury them beneath "vibes." They sacrifice data, research, and consumer psychology in favor of "what feels right." It's a total sh*tshow.

As co-founder of Graewolves, I created something different. We specialize in research-backed branding and marketing. We help businesses stand out and make more money through a simple 3-step process:

1️⃣ We find your unique sweet spot where competitors can't follow you (your "Category of One")
2️⃣ We discover exactly where your potential customers get stuck or hesitant when trying to buy
3️⃣ We fix those sticking points through branding, marketing, and behavioral science (the psychology behind how people actually make decisions)

What happens next? 

Our clients see up to 800% ROI within 12 months. Not because we made their logo prettier, but because we made their business work better. Through scientific thinking + principles, applied to business. 

Think about it: 

When was the last time a branding agency showed you the clear connection between their work and your actual revenue? That's exactly what we do. No smoke and mirrors—just results you can measure. 

A clear upward trend for your business 📈

My background brings together PhD-level research with real-world experience leading 100+ B2B transformations for high-ticket coaches, consultancies and agencies. Fun fact: I’ve also been a Nationally-ranked powerlifter and trained 50+ Olympic athletes (a dozen Olympic medalists!) to perform at their best. This unique blend of business, research, art, science and ambition… is what fuels all my work. 

Yes, our approach costs more than typical branding—not because we're "premium" (honestly, that word means nothing anymore), but because we do the deep research work that every other agency skips.

✅ We’ve (re)built 100+ brands & businesses.
✅ Increased their revenue up to 3x. 
✅ Gained up to 7x higher ROI on every marketing dollar they spend. 

We only work with a handful of new clients each quarter.

Want your branding & marketing to bring you clients 24/7/365? 

Let's talk.

Graewolves is growing faster than our current setup can handle. We're doing the strategy and client work. But we're also tracking deadlines, extracting action items from meeting notes, coordinating handoffs between teams, and making sure nothing slips.

That's what we're hiring you to own.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴:

+ Keep every project on track
+ Extract tasks from transcripts, route them with full context
+ Update Motion (our PM tool) daily
+ Flag bottlenecks 48 hours before they become fires
+ Coordinate research → strategy → creative → delivery handoffs
+ Monitor team capacity and flag overload before it hits
+ Create SOPs for onboarding, status updates, team handoffs
+ Document workflows for future new hires
+ Identify patterns in bottlenecks and systematize solutions
+ Weekly status reports (proactive, not reactive)
+ Handle scope changes with timeline impact analysis

𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗳:

- You need hand-holding or constant direction
- Documentation feels like punishment instead of satisfying infrastructure work
- You wait for problems to surface instead of anticipating them

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁:

- Direct work with founders (no bureaucratic layers)
- Autonomy to own your work and shape our systems 
- Remote flexibility across the Americas and/or Europe
- Clear success metrics for your first 90 days
- Potential permanent role after 3-month contract
- Work with (very) smart, demanding clients on profitable projects

You'll be working with myself and Milanie Grae. She tells me I'm direct AF, but I've also got a wicked sense of humour. We're both nerds that get sh*t done. 

If you've worked in an agency before, and you want to continue to learn, grow, and also laugh every day along the way — we'd love to read your application to join Graewolves.

Eliminating “I’ll get back to you” for high-ticket coaches, consulting firms & B2B agencies | Research-backed branding & marketing | 10+ years psychology | 100+ B2B transformations | $50K-$100K client trust funnels

Three years ago, I was driving door-to-door dropping off resumes, met mostly with silence. I know exactly how heavy and isolating that feels.

That’s why we reviewed all 250+ applications for our Project Manager role with the attention they deserved. I read every application myself.

We are finalizing our shortlist today. 

If you have been selected, you will receive an email invite tonight, with interviews running Friday through early next week.

If you hear from me tonight, it’s good news. ☺️

All the branding advice on LinkedIn is for B2C. And it falls apart when applied to B2B. (Where the real money is.) 

I wish I could exclusively build brands around emotional storytelling and lifestyle aspirations. Around nostalgic memories and the color of love. 

But I help coaches & consultants sell $25K-$50K contracts to VPs and executives who need trusted vendors and ROI projections, not inspiration.

The famous brand strategists love to say:

- "Build an emotional connection"
- "Create a lifestyle brand"
- "Make them feel something"

That advice works beautifully for sneakers, chocolates, and skincare.
But it fails miserably for B2B consulting services.

Here's what actually matters in B2B branding: 👇

Not: "What feeling does your brand evoke?"
But: "What specific problem do you solve and for whom?"

Not: "What's your brand personality?"
But: "What credibility signals prove you can deliver at the highest level?"

⚠️ B2C branding is about desire. 
✅ B2B branding is about trust.

Different psychology → Different strategy → Different execution.

The B2B buying process:

1. Multiple stakeholders evaluate ROI and risk.
2. Committees review proposals for weeks/months.
3. Decisions get made on projections, not emotions.

Your "authentic personal story" is hot garbage if you can't clearly articulate what you do and why you're the smartest, safest choice for the SPECIFIC problem your prospect is trying to resolve. 

This is why coaches and consultants struggle.

They follow B2C branding advice, build beautiful "personal brands," then wonder why C-suite buyers don't respond.

We help coaches and consultants sell B2B because that's where the lion's share of the money is. 

But it requires different branding than what's trending on LinkedIn.

Are you building a B2C brand to sell B2B services?

That mismatch might explain your conversion problem.

Don't confuse sh*t human writing for the death of human writing


And don't confuse sh*t AI writing as an excuse to not get better at developing your skillset for AI writing.

The world is changing. On both sides. 

Keep up.

Technical founders and executives trust process rigour, not charisma. 

Your "amazing" personality will not compensate for an unclear/weak offer. 

And this is especially true for high-ticket coaches and consultants. 

So, before you start pitching to every Tom, D!ck, and Harry...
Spend a few weeks tidying up your offer, pricing, and value proposition. 

You'll see a lot more success that way.

P.S. Very few exceptions apply.
