Who we are.
Brand Therapy began the day Michelle and Dan realized how often clients called simply needing a sounding board—“brand therapy,” as we joked. We’ve been solving brand problems large and small together ever since.
We turned that into a service: a focused, confidential, communications expertise—right when you need it. Like wellness therapy for cause-driven marketers and communicators, it’s a calm, judgment-free space to untangle challenges, pressure-test ideas, and map next steps—with top-tier thought partnership.
We’re in your corner.
Michelle Roche and Dan Delli-Colli are independent, award-winning advertising and brand development experts with decades of high-level experience in brand strategy, campaign development, design, and messaging for a wide roster of clients and agencies.
Whether you’re launching something new, growing fast, scaling back, or simply looking for best practices—you’ve got this. Because now, you’ve got us.

Communications Strategy
Michelle Roche brings 30 years of experience helping leaders and organizations build brands with heart. Known for cutting through the noise and charting a clear path forward, she pairs strategic insight with creative know-how, allowing her to organize and collaborate with expert teams of graphic designers, researchers, and other subject matter experts to meet any communications challenge. Before launching her cause-centered consultancy, Roche Brand Advisors in 2019, she co-led two award-winning advertising agencies, working across many corporate and nonprofit industries. The inspiration for offering "Brand Therapy" came one day when she and colleague Dan Delli-Colli were half joking about the frequency with which clients call needing advice or a sounding board—essentially "brand therapy".
We've been solving brand problems large and small together ever since.
Michelle is also a curious world traveler, civic advocate, Mom, and lifelong learner.
