About Brandon Levy

Digital Marketing Graduate. Creative Strategist. Brand Builder. Digital Storyteller

I’m Brandon James Anthony Levy, a Digital Marketing & Social Media graduate with a passion for transforming ideas into meaningful brands, engaging campaigns and memorable digital experiences.

My work combines marketing strategy, branding, audience research and creative content production to solve real problems and create measurable impact. Throughout my academic journey, professional experience and independent projects, I have developed campaigns, brand identities and digital concepts that balance creativity with commercial thinking.

From AI-supported wellbeing platforms and integrated marketing campaigns to social media management, visual identity design and content creation, I enjoy taking projects from initial research through to execution.

This portfolio showcases the work, experiences and ideas that have shaped my journey while demonstrating how I approach strategy, storytelling, branding and digital marketing in today’s evolving digital landscape.

My Approach

Research Before Creativity. Strategy Before Design.

Every successful project begins with understanding people.

Before developing a brand, designing visuals or planning a marketing campaign, I focus on identifying the audience, understanding behaviours and defining the problem that needs solving. This research-led approach ensures every creative decision has purpose and contributes towards a meaningful outcome.

I believe the strongest marketing is built on insight rather than assumption. Whether creating digital content, developing brand identities or planning integrated campaigns, I combine audience research with creativity to produce work that is both engaging and commercially relevant.

Throughout my academic studies, professional placements and independent projects, I have developed a structured process that guides every piece of work. From initial discovery and strategic planning through to design, testing, refinement and evaluation, each stage is carefully considered to achieve the best possible result.

This portfolio reflects that mindset. Every project demonstrates my commitment to strategic thinking, creative problem-solving and delivering solutions that connect with audiences while supporting clear marketing objectives.

YouBelong AI-Supported Digital Wellbeing Platform

Skills Demonstrated – UX Design • Branding • Marketing Strategy • AI Integration • Research • Campaign Planning • UI Design

Developed as my final year university degree project, YouBelong is an AI supported digital wellbeing platform designed to help secondary school students experiencing bullying and cyberbullying.

The idea was first developed during the summer before my final year, where I dedicated several months to researching digital wellbeing, safeguarding, artificial intelligence and the challenges faced by young people online. As the concept continued to evolve, I chose to make YouBelong the primary focus of my third year, allowing me to refine every aspect of the project from initial research through to a fully developed solution.

The project brought together user research, branding, user experience design, interface development, artificial intelligence and digital marketing into one integrated concept. Every stage was carefully considered, from audience research and wireframes to campaign planning, promotional materials and ethical AI implementation, demonstrating how technology can be used to create meaningful social impact.

The project was recognised through nominations for both the Community Changemaker Award and the NextGen Digital Disruptor Award, highlighting its innovative approach and potential to make a positive difference in young people’s lives.
