Purple Orca
Some people show up ready to pitch their ideas.
Christina shows up and pauses for a moment.
This pause makes room for meaning, helps uncover the path in a founder’s journey, reveals the story’s shape, and finds the heartbeat of a brand.
Purple Orca is neither an agency nor a consultancy.
It’s a space for ideas, where Christina shares what she’s learned from years in brand, publishing, and marketing leadership. She brings insights, frameworks, and honest stories about both challenges and breakthroughs. Here, you’ll find her thoughts from the centre and the edges.
This isn’t focused on building sales funnels.
It’s about building understanding.
The kind that helps people communicate more clearly, not just more loudly.
Why Purple Orca?
The name started with Seth Godin’s Purple Cow, which calls for being remarkable.
But it’s not only about being different. It’s about being different on Purpose, with a plan.
Different in Purpose.
It’s also not about working alone. It’s about working together.
After all, orcas don’t hunt by themselves.
They communicate and work as a team.
They kill—deadlines, objectives, creative barriers.
They blow things out of the water, doing it with skill and with care.
That’s the spirit here: calm on the outside, but deeply capable underneath.
It’s not flashy or formulaic.
It’s about clear thinking, purposeful work, and sometimes, a well-timed roar.

This isn’t a sales pitch. It’s about being present.
If you’re here, maybe you’re ready for your voice to be heard more clearly.
