Small team. Big standards.

(01)

We’re a small, senior team specialised in branding & digital marketing.
We started Brands Untamed because we wanted to work differently: with more trust, less hierarchy,
and no layers between us and the work.

Clear design. Honest feedback. High standards.
That’s what we’d want from a creative partner. So that’s what we built.

If that sounds like your kind of team, keep reading.

Our Story

what brought
us here.

We’ve both worked in agencies, corporate teams, and as solo freelancers. Plenty of good work but too many layers, not enough clarity, and too little say in how things got done.

Turns out, we work better together. So we built Brands Untamed: a lean, hands-on setup for marketing teams who want real collaboration, not surface-level “solutions.”

We work directly with you, ask the right questions, and help your brand show up smarter, sharper, and more consistent across the board.

What it’s like to work with us

(04)

Ralu

Ralu is sharp, fast, and deeply strategic. She’ll spot what’s off in your messaging in 5 seconds, rewrite it in 10, and somehow make it sound like something you meant to say all along. She moves fast, but never without thinking. There’s strategy in every sentence, and design in every decision.

She can spot brand misalignment in seconds, and push the work until it actually feels right. She doesn’t believe in “just okay.” She finds the rhythm, shapes the story, and makes sure everything that goes out the door looks and sounds like you at your best.

Hans

Hans is structured, precise, and relentlessly thoughtful. He’s not loud about it, but he sees systems most people miss. On the surface, he’s cool and composed. Underneath? He’s fine-tuning every pixel and every sentence to make sure it all holds up.

He’s the guy who’ll quietly fix 10 things before you even realise they were broken. He designs, builds, edits, and connects the dots across brand, story, and structure.

Together?

We balance each other out. We overlap. We challenge each other in the right ways, sharpen the work as we go, and never settle for “good enough.”

And that means what you get is better than what either of us would’ve made alone. That’s probably why our clients stick around.
