Meet Michael

I am Michael Addo, a brand strategist, creative director and entrepreneur. After working in mainstream Advertising for five years, I felt my design work lacked something. The soul was missing. I enrolled in several brand strategy and design courses, took an MBA degree in Project management and an NCFE qualification in Digital and Social Media Marketing(Shaw Academy UK). I then went back to starting Pedigree - a brand consultancy and co-founded Gold Coast Kenkey -a game changing restaurant business that thrives on a great product, a powerful story, good design and market engagement strategy. Applying the principles of branding to the restaurant business, we grew to over 10x revenue within 3 years. Over the years I have honed my craft and crystallized my brand strategy process into Pedigree - a solution that helps businesses to leverage their authentic stories and create brands that have a meaning and purpose that is bigger than just products and services or decorative logos and slogans. As principal at Pedigree, I consult for startups and going businesses in the area of branding and business growth.
