We help you crystallise your high-level narrative. 

A great organisational story is the strategy: the heart of your value offering that powers success in pitching, recruitment, product/service design, securing investment, and going to market. 

We shape this by working with leaders to bring teams, investors, and stakeholders together around a compelling mission using narrative design.

Our main focus is startups and early-stage companies, but we also bring outsider perspective to institutions.  

Wherever you’re at, the stories we shape together will better join your 'why' to your 'how': purpose and value with execution and results.
 

Strategic narrative design

Who are you? What're you doing, and why? How are you built around the needs of your customers or stakeholders? Are your leaders and teams aligned on this?

​

To help you develop your story we offer one-off consultations, workshop programmes, and client partnerships.

​

Purposeful messaging

Unlock better conversations with employees, clients, customers, and investors. 

​

Value propositions & pitching

Every product or service is shaped by a promise. Every investment pitch is a tale of value creation.  

To help your communication, capital raising, development, and go-to-market, we offer custom story toolkits and engagements built around solving your challenges.
