II cannot rave enough about Tobias! I knew I wanted to work a brand strategist, who wouldn't right, but Tobias's knowledge and experience of brand strategy is so comprehensive, that's why he's able to produce a program of this standard. His one product, one outcome strategy will transform your business if you follow it through. It's given me immense focus. Plus he's a super nice guy and so helpful 🙂

Ever wonder why thing doesn't work out for you and your business? How is it that you struggle year out and year in with poor results? Learn from Tobias, one of the best in the game, and then change that once and for all. You won't be disappointed.

Love it. This course helps you to structure all the different thoughts and ideas that pass by. Seeing a structure and literally building your brand identity gives you energy and confidence.

Marcus

The programme was structured in easy, step-by-step modules. This gave me the focus to work on each module properly, which subsequently resulted in a strong end-result where all modules come together. The support of the group was an absolute bonus and I hope we will continue to support each other. Tobias is very inspirational and pleasant to work with and provided me very constructive feedback, how to be better or distill my plans further. I will never have his looks, but if I have learned only a percentage of his skills my business will surely lift off.

Yvonne

The Netherlands

Before I joining this program I search for other similar programs, but found that The Future Academy was by far in a class of its own. You simply won't find a more complete and well defined program, trust me I've search everywhere. You won't find another brand strategy and coach better that Tobias who is available to share his knowledge, time and passion in this learning and coaching format. Tobias is an absolute "boss at brand." Not only does he have incredible knowledge about all things brand strategy, he is articulate, clear and concise in his explanations and conveying ideas and strategies, he genuinely cares about your results, and he is simply one of the respectful and caring guys you will meet. Thank you Tobias.

Warren

I have always known that I have an entrepreneurial spirit in me. I have had the dream to start a business of my own utilising the skills and experience I have gained in the corporate world. However, I have not really found the way of how to really make it happen. The Brand Entrepreneur training has been a game-changer for me. I have gained new insights, I have been strengthened and I have got the courage to get started. And I have already seen that it works. If your are planning to set up your own business (or further develop your current) I truly recommend that you invest in yourself and your future by attending this training.

Anita

I have had the pleasure of working with Tobias on several projects over the past years both for corporate strategy, branding and personal coaching. Without exception, his work is always meticulously prepared, high quality and very much to the point. I have always appreciated Tobias´ in-depth knowledge of strategy and branding, combined with a real interest in creating value for his customers. He is not afraid to challenge deeply routed management assumptions and push people to make difficult decisions in order to achieve the focus and clarity needed for future success. I would happily recommend Tobias to any company looking to create a winning strategy or any person looking for personal growth in strategy and branding.

Robin

Choosing to work with Tobias was one of the best decisions I made this year. It is not often you find genuine coaches/consultants who really put their money where their mouth is. Not only do Tobias’ methods work, he is an open book and completely transparent in his approach. He's committed to your growth and he helps you to get out of your own way, so you can achieve real results.

Sulman

It has been a fantastic journey that has given me the confidence to pivot my business and life in an exciting new direction. Tobias is a really good coach with a wealth of knowledge and insight. His methodology will give you the skills to boost your business and build the life of your dreams.

Luke

I can honestly say that it will hard to find anyone more dedicated, passionate & competitive person who always seeks to reach new heights. Be it in sports, business or just simply being the best version of yourself. He is without no doubt one of the leading brand strategists and business coaches around. Highly recommended.

Tobias Dahlberg has facilitated courses for Design Forum Finland for several years. The feedback is continually extremely positive, and he scores close to maximal points every time. His workshops are interactive, very clear and structured, and they suit many types of needs. He is one of only a few top experts of strategic design in Finland."
