About Highly Persuasive

Highly Persuasive is a brand strategy consultancy. We work with ambitious companies that are technically excellent, commercially undervalued, and want to change that — permanently, not cosmetically.

Brand Origins: Highly Persuasive

The Gap Between What You’re Worth and What the Market Believes Is a Commercial Problem. It Has a Commercial Solution.

Highly Persuasive is a strategic marketing & advertising consultancy that designs brand systems rooted in behavioral psychology, message architecture, and conversion science. We work at the intersection of positioning, perception, and influence—helping businesses align how they’re seen with how they should be valued. Our approach doesn’t rely on creative trends or tactical execution. Instead, we build structured, high-trust messaging ecosystems that reduce hesitation, elevate pricing power, and accelerate buyer decisions. For brands where trust drives revenue, we turn ambiguity into clarity—and clarity into commercial leverage.

As Seen In:

How We Think About This Work

Most of the decisions that determine whether a company wins or loses a deal are made before the first conversation happens. A buyer evaluating a shortlist of three suppliers has already formed a tier hierarchy — who is the preferred partner, who is the acceptable alternative, who is the price check — before a proposal is submitted or a call is taken. The brand signals that drive that hierarchy are the ones that matter most commercially. They are also the ones most companies are least conscious of sending.

The intellectual foundation of Highly Persuasive’s work is the application of behavioural science — specifically, how buyers make decisions under uncertainty — to the commercial positioning challenges that mid-market companies face. Buyers don’t evaluate rationally. They evaluate through heuristics: signals of quality, signals of risk, signals of peer credibility, signals of tier. Those heuristics can be understood, measured, and engineered. That is what we do.

The Brand Gravity™ System maps five forces that determine a brand’s commercial performance: Brand Friction™, Brand Gravity™, Brand Momentum™, Brand Decay™, and Brand Amplification™. It is not a framework in the consulting sense — a structure to hang existing thinking on. It is a diagnostic tool that surfaces the specific dynamics driving a brand’s current commercial performance, then identifies the interventions with the highest leverage. Execution follows diagnosis. Not the other way around.

This approach puts Highly Persuasive in a specific competitive position. We are not a management consultancy — we don’t do transformation programmes or operational strategy. We are not a creative agency — we don’t lead with execution or start from a brief. We sit in the white space between analytical rigour and behavioural precision: the consultancy that diagnoses the commercial positioning problem and then builds the brand system that solves it.

Meet The Principals

Michael Lynch

Founder / Director / Brand & Marketing Strategy

There’s a pattern in B2B sales data that most leadership teams notice but can’t explain.

The company with the stronger product loses. The proposal with more evidence stalls. The team with the better track record ends up in a pricing negotiation they shouldn’t be having. And nobody can tell you precisely why.

In most cases, it isn’t a sales problem. The brand is failing to do something specific: give buyers the internal confidence to commit. That gap — between what a company can actually deliver and what the market feels is safe to choose — is what I’ve spent the past decade learning to find and close.

I founded Highly Persuasive in 2014 around a single insight: that commercial belief can be engineered. That the friction creating hesitation in a buyer’s mind isn’t random — it follows predictable psychological patterns, it has a diagnosable structure, and it responds to deliberate narrative and positioning work.

The clients I work with are typically founders, CEOs, and senior growth leadership in mid-market B2B companies. They’re strong operators who’ve built something credible — and they’re still losing ground to competitors who present more convincingly than they perform. That asymmetry is the problem.

My particular lens is cross-cultural commercial fluency. Working across Asian, Middle Eastern, and Western procurement environments for over a decade means I’ve built positioning that has to hold across fundamentally different trust frameworks, risk cultures, and decision-making norms. That’s a different challenge than most brand strategists have navigated — and it’s where a significant amount of the intellectual depth in the work comes from.

Over 100+ brand engagements across 12+ markets. Consistent outcomes in deal velocity, average contract value, and pricing defensibility. If you’re watching good pipeline stall without a clear explanation, I’d suggest the explanation is there — it’s just not where most people look.

Narinthorn 'Pick' Intharin

Co-Founder / CTO / Project Management

Narithon co-founded Highly Persuasive and leads the firm's technical architecture and project delivery. He holds a degree in Computer Science and began his career at Thailand's Ministry of Technology — a grounding in systems thinking and structured delivery that shapes how he approaches every client engagement. Where brand strategy produces the what and why, Narithon owns the how: the technical infrastructure, the delivery architecture, and the operational precision that ensures complex engagements execute on schedule and without commercial friction.
His background gives HP a capability most boutique consultancies lack — a co-founder who can bridge strategic intent and technical execution without either being compromised in the translation. When a client engagement involves a website build, a digital system, or a complex multi-workstream project, Narithon is the person making sure the pieces land correctly and in sequence.

What We Believe

You don’t need more noise. You need fewer reasons for your buyer to hesitate.

Our work is shaped by a set of operating principles—not opinions, but tested beliefs drawn from behavioral science, commercial strategy, and decades of buyer psychology.

🔹 Perception is leverage.

Great products still lose when they’re misunderstood. The right message, at the right moment, changes everything—pricing, performance, and priority.

🔹 Complexity kills conversion.

The more your buyer has to think, the less likely they are to act. Our job is to eliminate hesitation, not add decoration.

🔹 Belief happens before behavior.

No one clicks, converts, or buys without a belief shift. We design for that moment—where a message becomes a decision.

🔹 People don’t buy what’s best. They buy what feels safest.

This isn’t about persuasion. It’s about perceived certainty. We engineer systems that make “yes” feel inevitable.

🔹 Misalignment is expensive.

Most marketing problems aren’t tactical—they’re structural. When your positioning, message, and signals aren’t aligned, conversion erodes quietly.

🔹 Clarity compounds.

Every point of friction you remove adds momentum. When your strategy, story, and structure align, buyers move faster—and pay more—because the path feels obvious.

Our Mission:

To eliminate ambiguity in brand communication by engineering high-trust messaging systems rooted in behavioral science, strategic positioning, and conversion psychology—so that great businesses can be understood, chosen, and paid what they’re worth.

Our Vision

A world where businesses are chosen not because they shout the loudest, but because their value is perceived with clarity, trust, and precision—at the exact moment it matters most.

Positioning Statement

Highly Persuasive is a strategic marketing consultancy that helps growth-driven brands convert faster, close stronger, and price higher—by aligning perception, positioning, and messaging through behavioral science and conversion psychology.

The brand identity that Highly Persuasive developed & designed for us is exactly the type of image we wanted to convey for the Beestro. Highly recommended!

Christopher O'LearyCo-Founder--The Beestro Bangkok

"I find your services are amazing. You are way better than our local services. I find the money is worthy spent. We can always get what we want with you. Not so expensive. And very responsive."

Aung TheinManaging Director - Kaung Swan Htet Trading Co.

"We've been working with Highly Persuasive for almost 2 years many of our potential clients and guests visited our website & always comment on the website. "

Aung Soe KyawDirector--GGI Myanmar

"Our monthly subscriptions for new customers signups increased substantially from 7 to 22 in the first month alone. This was almost exclusively due to the landing page redesign and subsequent graphic enhancements!"

Nat SilapornMarketing Manager-- Fitness First

"Our content marketing strategy was lacking in authenticity and value. We brought on Highly Persuasive as a marketing consultant who opened our eyes to the value of inbound marketing. As I write this (2 months post campaign), we have seen a dramatic increase in not only the quantity of organic traffic, but more importantly, the quality."

Phil HobbingMarketing Manager -- Alvarez & Marshall Singapore

"We needed a digital experience to match the new space. Highly Persuasive helped bring our vision to life and got us ranking on Google for keywords we didn’t even think about."

Hassan MirzaOwner - The Hub Samui

"Before the new site, our pages were broken and we were basically invisible in Google. Now we get over 500 inquiries a year from people who found us directly on Google with no ads."

Ralph BealeOwner - Lamai Muay Thai Camp - Koh Samui

"I needed something clean and simple that actually worked. They built a one-page site that shows up and loads fast. It gets me leads every single week without me having to do any marketing."

Nick TaylorOwner - Samui Sound Hire

"We’re in a competitive market, but the new website, SEO and ads now feel like one cohesive machine"

Jeff C.Owner - Skydive Thailand

We used to depend on walk-ins. Now we get steady direct bookings online. This year we're up 183% in the past 7 months.

Oui P.Have A Spar Massage & Spa - Koh Samui

"As a property developer, credibility is everything. The rebrand gave us that—and the site now gets inquiries from buyers we actually want."

Lee StrattonDirector - Bophut Property Developers

"We finally feel like we’re in control of our bookings—not just reacting to OTA commissions and seasonality. That’s a massive win."

Giulia F.General Manager, Cala Verde Resort

"They made sense of our scattered marketing. For the first time, we’re seeing real traction from Google ads without increasing our spend."

Cynthia J.Strategy Director, Oxbridge Consultancy
