BOOM RELATIONS
Brand strategy & fractional operator

Brand and business,
built by the same hand.

Boom Relations is a one-person consultancy for founders who are tired of hiring a brand agency and a business advisor separately — and watching the two disagree. Brand creation, rebranding, and brand stewardship, paired with real COO-level operator experience, from one desk.

Building, positioning, and operating consumer and B2B brands

Two disciplines.
One read on your business.

Most consultancies sell you one half. Boom Relations is built at the overlap.
01 / Brand

Brand creation & stewardship

Positioning, naming, visual identity, voice, and the editorial discipline to keep a brand coherent as the company changes shape under it — from a first identity to a full rebrand.

02 / Operations

Fractional COO & company-building

Go-to-market, growth mechanics, fundraising narratives, and the operating rhythm that turns a brand promise into a company that actually delivers on it — built from a decade running the business side.

Why both, from one person: a naming decision is a positioning decision is a pricing decision is an operating decision. Splitting that across two consultants means someone has to translate between them. Boom Relations skips the translation.
What Boom Relations does

Brand work and operator work, one system.

01

Brand creation

New ventures and new lines get a full identity — name, positioning, visual system, voice — built to hold up past launch.

02

Rebranding & repositioning

Established companies outgrow their first story. Repositioning work that keeps what's earned and changes what isn't working.

03

Ongoing brand stewardship

Retained brand oversight — campaigns, content, and new touchpoints reviewed against one consistent standard, not reinvented each time.

04

Fractional COO

Operating cadence, team structure, and the unglamorous systems that let a founder stop being the bottleneck.

05

Growth & go-to-market

Low-CAC, network-driven growth plans — referrals, partnerships, community, and organic mechanics before paid spend.

06

Pitch & fundraising narrative

Investor decks and traction stories built from real operating numbers, not template slides.

Proof, not promises

Work carrying both halves of this.

Founder · Current

Sokketz

Repositioned a components manufacturer as "the design layer of the home" — colour-matched, design-led switches and sockets built for interior-focused buyers, not electricians.

Brand Manager · Current

Unmo

Took Unmo from a jobs board to a category platform for Swedish hospitality — new editorial voice, role-based product experience, and a growth model built on community, not ad spend.

Founder & CEO

Carl Oaks

Built and ran a sustainable, handmade eyewear and watch brand end to end — identity, product, manufacturing, and go-to-market under one roof for four years.

Operator · A decade

Scaling consumer platforms

COO and Country/Brand Manager roles across three international consumer-platform ventures — Sweden, the UK, and Malta — launching markets, building teams, and running the operations behind the brand.

A wider record

Brands built, run, or steered since 2006.

How it runs

Three steps, no theatre.

01

Read the business

A short joint audit of brand and operations — because the weak point is rarely where founders think it is.

02

Set the plan

Positioning and priorities, paired with the operating changes needed to actually support them.

03

Run it with you

Hands-on execution at a cadence built for a lean team — fractional, not another full-time hire.

Let's build something that holds together.
