Here’s a little bit about me!
Hi, I’m Hellen Oti, founder, Humanized Brand & Content Strategist at Brisque.
Growing up as the middle child, I learned a very important marketing lesson – if you want to be noticed, you must stand out.
- How do brands stand out?
- How do they make their marketing more memorable?
It turns out that the formula is a little simpler than I initially thought. It’s no different from any human interaction that we have daily.
When we feel like we relate to someone, we feel connected to them.
Why I started Brisque: learning to make all marketing relatable
Working primarily in business-to-business technology marketing, I noticed that there was often a disconnect. Unlike consumer marketing, which was focused on relatability, in business marketing, we were focused on sounding professional.
The problem, though, was that it created mainly a “lifeless” and no-voice brand selling a product. Although the marketing could get new business, we were missing a big part of the marketing magic that makes a bigger difference because the marketing wasn’t focused on making the marketing enjoyable and relatable.
My thought was if I enjoy a company’s marketing to buy jeans, I should enjoy marketing when buying any business system.
So as a professional always looking to grow and learn, I started looking for resources to learn more about how we can be relatable in our marketing, even when selling to businesses.
I couldn’t find a single source focused on humanized marketing in a way that anyone could replicate.
I created Brisque as a resource for anyone wanting to learn how to make their marketing more humanized. I’m excited to have you on this learning journey together!

More facts about me:
- I have 12+ years of marketing experience, and in each marketing role, I built a team and process from scratch
- I grew up in Ghana, and I moved to the United States to pursue a business degree
- I love my expresso machine. It’s the only way to have coffee. Prove me wrong :)
- I enjoy hiking, dancing, experimental cooking, and learning new languages
- My crazy life idea is to create a society where we don’t need money to survive. Cool idea, right?
