About us
Mavan is an exclusive network of senior leaders from the fastest-growing companies in tech. We apply the methods we’ve pioneered over the last 15 years to validate and grow our client’s startups – from series A to C. All startups would benefit from specialist talent but are often capital constrained and forced to settle for a few generalists. Mavan solves this. We assemble specialized teams in weeks instead of months at a fraction of the traditional cost. We work in clearly defined 90-day sprints, guarantee our work month to month, and leave clients with consistent, predictable growth systems. We are experts in strategy, data, marketing, creative, product, and engineering who work with internal leaders to help grow their startups. After analyzing their needs, we deliver recommendations, align on strategy, and deploy the right people with the right skills at the right time to deliver against their unique growth goals. We work as an extension of their team integrating seamlessly with existing leadership, employees, and external partners.

Great brands don't come out of nowhere, they're built, nurtured, and protected. Matt Widdoes shares some of his experiences working with Red Bull as it spent the last few decades becoming a global powerhouse.
Working at Red Bull gave me a front row seat to a masterclass in building brand exclusivity and value. Our approach didn’t just elevate the brand–it defined it, creating a larger than life aura that drew in thrill-seeking athletes, exhausted college students, and a broader consumer market into a sphere of prestige, aspiration, and high-energy. Exclusivity remains a strategic cornerstone that continues to amplify Red Bull's value and desirability. Maintaining an elite brand image is no walk in the park. Red Bull was faced with the task of enforcing strict brand guidelines across every touchpoint and until they acquired a soccer team, the only people in the world they would allow to wear their iconic “Bull and Suns” logo were street teams and sponsored athletes. Balancing sponsorships and partnerships to avoid brand dilution required relentless effort and precision. Red Bull's response to these challenges was a valuable lesson in brand management. They instituted rigorous training programs and communication strategies to ensure every stakeholder, from the street team to the boardroom, was aligned with their brand ethos. Continuous monitoring and enforcement were pivotal in sustaining their brand’s consistency and exclusivity, even and especially when it was hard to do so We scrutinized every partnership and sponsorship decision, ensuring it aligned with our values. Was it all worth it? You bet your wiiings it was. Red Bull has managed to carve out a place for itself in culture that’s lasted over 20 years and is now the #3 most consumed soda beverages in the world, ahead of Pepsi and behind Coke and Diet Coke respectively! From skating down mountains of ice, to jumping out of a spaceship and landing safely on earth, Red Bull’s journey is a reminder of the power of strategic exclusivity in building a world-class brand. Have you ever seen a brand’s exclusivity policy backfire? What happened? 🤔 #BrandManagement #MarketingStrategy #BrandExclusivity #RedBull #MarketingInsights #BrandLoyalty
