About us

Evoleus is a next generation brand agency, bringing together brand strategy experts, award-winning design flair and decades of experience honed at Nucleus, with proprietary agentic workflows to deliver faster, sharper insights and intelligent automation for brands who need to win in the AI era.

Reimagining brand strategy for the AI-era

Led by brand strategy experts, Evoleus has been founded on a new brand agency model, purposely reimagined for the AI-era.

Our new approach combines expert, experienced brand and design consulting with AI automation to deliver the best of both worlds: human-directed and curated AI solutions, based on proven brand consulting methodologies, including; brand naming, positioning and value proposition definition, brand valuation and creative execution.

Using our own proprietary agentic workflows, we use AI to transform research, opportunity assessments, validation and delivery, while retaining expert human insight, creativity and attention-to-detail. In time, we plan to make these AI agents available for our clients and SMEs to use, but, for now, we are tuning them for enterprise use, guided by our consultants.

If you want to work faster, smarter or more creatively, get in touch. We’re ready to help.
