Is a branding and marketing consultancy a good start-up company?

[SH]

I have a big interest in branding and marketing. However, I do not have a strong theoretical knowledge on branding and nor on business & finance. (my background is engineering). I plan to however take a Grad Diploma in brand management.

I would like to set up a company where I advise companies on how to improve their branding and hence sell more and generate higher profits as well as happier customers.
Do you think this is a good start-up idea?

I also know there are other such companies around (with many more years of experience). So what can I do to differentiate my company from theirs? (would love some ideas!)

thanks

You need lot of experience in the field to succeed a marketing company. If you have never done any business, who would trust you and pay you to market their products?

If you have a lot of money for a project, I have one. But, its massive and needs a lot of money. Its an online project little bit similar to facebook, but even bigger in terms of functions. The concept is totally different from facebook, its based on facebook's weaknesses. You can contact me on [metaljuice at gmail] format this text as a proper email address.
