A strategically minded marketer & entrepreneur with a fierce passion for brand creation, innovation and rejuvenation, Marielle des Etages is the founder of Brand Think LLC (in North Carolina) and Brand Think TT (in Trinidad & Tobago), a business consultancy with the goal of achieving success for our clients via brand-centric thinking.

Marielle grew up the youngest of a large education & arts focused family in Trinidad & Tobago. Being raised in an environment where both the arts and traditional studies were strongly valued enabled her to develop strength in this duality at a young age. As such, Marielle is both a creative & analytical thinker.

Seeking a career that would allow her to leverage both her creative & analytical sides, Marielle pursued an MBA in Marketing & Business Analytics and developed her career at a major Fortune 500 corporation. Marielle’s ability to distill complex macro trends & consumer insights into actionable market plans has afforded her the opportunity to work with several notable brands over the years.

Her experience in developing product and brand ideas from inception to market launch has led her to hold two patents for product and packaging innovations within her previous industry.

Currently based in Trinidad and Tobago, Marielle spends her time working with small business clients while simultaneously developing a locally based women’s retail operation. When not working on these businesses, you can find her spending time caring for her aging parents, playing around on her keyboard, exploring her island home & the world or enjoying a bottle of wine with friends.
