WHY PARTNER WITH HARALD?

You want to work with someone who leads with integrity, knowledge and the ability to move people toward action.

Harald Friedl is a global circular economist, hybrid leader and storyteller. He led Circle Economy’s global growth, launched the Circularity Gap Report, co-authored bestselling books, and speaks to thousands around the world. He brings 20+ years of systems thinking, circular economy leadership and global reach. From boardrooms to grassroots, he helps brands align value, story and action so impact isn’t a sidebar, it’s the core.

What sets Harald apart is his way of bringing forward facts and then using them to explain solutions. He knows that data alone does not move people, but when facts are translated into meaning and possibility, they can activate courage and collective action. This ability to weave evidence into stories that inspire courage and clarity has made him one of the most effective voices for systemic change.

HOW IT WORKS

The 7-step
co-creation process.

01
Discovery Opening the field with the Impact Reporter

Together with Harald, explore bold new narratives, untapped story angles, and unconventional framings to identify the unique contribution your story can make within the circular economy space.

02
Client input Impact Brief

You provide the core framing: key messages, intended impact, stakeholders to feature, pitfalls and red lines, timeline requirements, and alignment with broader initiatives or campaigns.

03
Storytelling First sketch by the Impact Reporter

Based on your input, Harald drafts 1 to 2 compelling story angles that translate your message into accessible and powerful storytelling.

04
Production Creative team development

The creative team translates the chosen storyline into visual concepts, preliminary storyboard, tone, voiceover ideas, interview setups, potential locations and production feasibility.

05
Alignment Review storyboard with client

Together we review the storyboard in detail to ensure clarity, accuracy, and alignment with your goals and red lines before anything is filmed.

06
On the ground Filming

On-site filming with the creative team and Harald as impact reporter. Includes interviews, b-roll, narration, and immersive storytelling moments that bring the story to life.

07
Delivery Editing, feedback and finalisation

First cut shared for feedback, refinements, final approval and delivery. Optional: social media framing and amplification support across Harald's 150K+ audience.

"Unlike traditional consultants, Harald has scaled organisations, led transformations, and delivered results. He doesn't just talk about change, he's built it."
