BrandTrust Founder and Brand Expert from the Beginning

Klaus-Dieter Koch is one of the most experienced brand strategy consultants in Europe: He began to focus on the idea of brand as a management tool very early, and for more than 25 years has been advising corporations and mid-sized companies on how to increase their corporate value with the aid of their brand. He has applied his many years of brand expertise in over 300 projects in a range of business sectors. His client list includes the destination Engadin St. Moritz, Rauch Fruchtsäfte, Julius Meinl, Stabilo, Madeleine Mode, Mustang, UPC Cablecom, and Axpo, to name a few.

In 2003, Klaus-Dieter Koch founded BrandTrust, because he recognized the enormous unused potential of brand management as a value driver for corporations and institutions. Since then, he has been successfully supporting decision makers with his unique combination of passion, expertise, and ingenuity. He has helped many brand managers to find solutions to challenges such as brand management in the digital age, differentiation from the competition, future brand fit, and leadership management, and to systematically take advantage of their entrepreneurial potential.
