From difference to direction.

CHE is not new. From 2017 to 2022, it operated as a guerrilla-marketing agency led by Daniel Che, working across positioning, websites, content, advertising, analytics and launch support. The relaunch keeps that craft — and changes what it serves.

BRAND EVOLUTION 2017 → TODAY
EARLIER CHE · 2017–2022 CHE TODAY · LIGHT IN THE DARK

One star. A different responsibility.

Earlier CHE challenged conventions to win attention. Today, its inventive spirit is guided by clarity, dignity and purpose.

Drag or tap the star. With a keyboard, use the arrow keys, Home or End.

01 / EARLIER CHE

“We do things a little differently.”

Bold, resourceful, unconventional. A red star and guerrilla thinking made the brand hard to ignore.

02 / CHE TODAY

Good causes deserve good methods.

Guerrilla thinking becomes ethical marketing: still inventive, still sharp, but guided by clarity, dignity and purpose.

02

Find where the light is missing.

Most meaningful projects do not have one marketing problem. They have a chain of small visibility failures. We look for the break in the chain first.

01

Clarity

Can a stranger explain what you do?

02

Trust

Does the experience support the claims?

03

Path

Is the next useful action obvious?

04

Measurement

Do you know what is working?

05

System

Do the parts reinforce each other?

A Light Audit starts here: clarity, trust, path, measurement and system. We find the first break in the chain — even when the answer is not “more marketing.”

03

From meaning to visibility.

Not five disconnected services. One visibility system — built around the problem that actually needs solving.

01

Clarify

Make the value clear.

Positioning · messaging · offer
02

Build

Turn meaning into useful experiences.

Websites · journeys · interfaces
03

Reach

Help the right people find it.

Google Ads · search · content
04

Measure

Let the data tell the truth.

Analytics · experiments · learning
AI · across all four

Accelerate

Use AI where it genuinely helps.

Research · localisation · workflows

Clear enough to sell.

Different enough to remember.

Ethical enough to trust.

04

A living laboratory.

Peaceful World is a separate nonprofit organization founded and led by Daniel Che. It is not a client testimonial — it is the clearest public place to see this approach being developed in practice.

Peaceful World

Making a complex mission easier to see, understand and use.

The work spans information architecture, product pages, multilingual publishing, analytics, public-facing tools and AI-assisted workflows. It is not a finished case study; it is ongoing practice.

05

Clarity is a process.

We treat strategy and design as a learning loop, not a reveal at the end of a black box.

01

Discover

Understand the context, people and real constraints.

02

Design

Shape the strategy, structure and key experiences.

03

Build

Create, integrate and launch with care.

04

Learn

Measure, listen and iterate for greater real-world impact.

AI accelerates the work. Human judgment protects the meaning.

Let your light shine

…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works…
06

Our ethical line.

Marketing is power. We choose what we connect it to — and which methods we refuse to use.

We persuade by clarity,

not manipulation.

Ethical marketing is not weaker marketing. It is disciplined power.
×No dark patterns
×No empty noise
×No growth at any cost
×No harmful things made meaningful
07

Work we stand behind.

01Does it create real value?
02Can it be promoted honestly?
03Would we put CHE next to it?

CHE is for nonprofits, educational and cultural projects, social entrepreneurs, ethical businesses and mission-driven teams that can be promoted honestly.

Legal form is not the filter. Meaning, real benefit and ethical compatibility are.

03 / HOW WE BEGIN

A useful first step. For free.

No technical brief. No guessing which service to buy. Start by describing one real problem.

LIGHT AUDIT · HUMAN REVIEW
€0

Tell us what is stuck. We’ll suggest the first move.

Describe one issue in your own words. We read it and email back a focused first assessment — not an automated score or a full technical audit.

01

What exists todayWebsite, campaign, workflow, or a recurring task.

02

What is getting stuckWhere time, decisions, results or data are being lost.

03

What would helpOne concrete outcome you would like to see.

Describe one problem ↗Free · Email reply · No account access

Share only information you are authorized to disclose. No passwords, API keys or confidential files.

Example of a free Light Audit response — illustrative, not a real client case
THE SITUATION

A small team uses ChatGPT, Google Drive and GitHub. Decisions keep getting lost between chats, documents and pull requests.

LIKELY BOTTLENECK

There is no agreed place for final decisions and no clear approval step.

FIRST ACTIONS
  1. Choose one reliable place to record decisions.
  2. Assign someone to approve changes.
  3. Test a simple review process before adding automation.
OPTIONAL NEXT STEP

If implementation help is needed, scope a small GitHub/knowledge workflow build.

Why free? You can assess how we think before committing; we learn about a real problem before proposing a system.

The depth depends on the information available. Not a security, legal or formal technical audit.

04 / STARTING PRICES

Choose the depth. Not a list of tools.

Three ways to move forward: understand the issue, fix one part or connect a system. Final scope and price are agreed before work starts.

UNDERSTAND ONE PROBLEM

Focused Review

Starting at€500
When a decision needs evidence, not another first impression.

We examine one agreed process or system in depth using relevant materials.

WHAT YOU GET

Prioritised findings, a system map and a scoped action plan.

Diagnosis and plan only; implementation is separate.
Discuss this scope ↗
CONNECT THE PIECES

Systems Sprint

Starting at€3,500
When several tools and people need one coherent process.

A bounded AI, product, growth or knowledge system with review gates.

WHAT YOU GET

Architecture map, working modules, testing and handover.

Specialist work scoped separately if needed.
Discuss this scope ↗

Optional ongoing support — from €500/month, only for a defined, limited scope. No mandatory retainer.

Indicative starting points, not fixed universal bundles. Third-party software, media spend, tax and specialist costs are evaluated separately.

What might a project look like?

Examples of scope—not pre-priced promises.

EXAMPLE SCOPE

Turn AI experiments into a reliable team workflow.

Map trusted sources, approvals and one repeatable AI-assisted process.

POSSIBLE DELIVERABLESSource-of-truth map, one reviewed workflow and handover.
05 / EXPLORE POTENTIAL VALUE

Make the trade-off visible.

Change the assumptions. The result is a time-value scenario, not a promise of savings or revenue.

INTERACTIVE ESTIMATOR

What is repetitive work costing you?

Count only the hours a realistic improvement could release, not all the hours you spend on the task.

120
€10€100

Use a realistic labor cost or the value of your own time.

€0€300
€500€8,000
Try a starting package price:
Monthly time value = recovered hours/week × hourly value × 52 ÷ 12 − monthly tools.

For a conservative estimate, use fewer hours and include costs you expect after implementation.

ILLUSTRATIVE MONTHLY CAPACITY VALUE
€600

A capacity estimate, not money saved in your bank account.

6 h × €25 × 52 / 12 − €50
Hours freed in a typical month26 h
Gross time value / month€650
Illustrative break-even time3.0 mo
This is a mathematical scenario, not an observed CHE client result. Value materializes only if hours are actually saved and can be usefully reallocated. It is cash savings only if real spending decreases. Excludes setup, transition and training costs.
06 / PROOF & CONTEXT

Real evidence. Clear boundaries.

Historical agency work, independent references and current founder-led products. Each source is labelled for what it actually proves.

Guerrilla marketing is something over the edge of conformism. Daniel has natural talent to attract attention to whatever the object is in smart and “sexy” ways.
