Hi there, I build brands people believe in and the experiences that carry that belief. My work is about purpose and connection. I listen hard, find the truth of the story, and turn it into a world people can step into and feel. At Wise+Hype I lead from workshop to identity to launch. I shape modern systems and clear narratives that show up the same on every surface and still feel alive. Earlier at Accenture I worked on high-visibility programs for Nike, Microsoft, HP, Siemens, Infosys, Boeing, Airbus, Carhartt and ConAgra. I also helped take Blinker from concept to the App Store with a human first identity and campaigns that moved people to act. Different arenas, same throughline: clarity that lands, craft that holds up, work people remember. I care about the why before the what. The goal is trust. I design for the moment when someone says this is for me. I lead with strong taste and simple habits that lift teams. Sharp briefs, kind critique, steady delivery. I protect the idea through production so speed never costs craft. I balance brand and performance so the work connects and converts. If you are looking for a creative leader who builds connection on purpose and turns it into design you can use at speed, I would love to talk. I am available to start whenever you are. Work lives at wiseandhype.com and more background at linkedin.com/in/jimschlichting. Warmly, Jim Schlichting…Hi there, I build brands people believe in and the experiences that carry that belief.
