Your brand. Your storytelling.

The Stories You Should Be Telling®

Our proprietary approach to audience insight ensures you always tell the right stories to the right people. Stories that optimally position your brand to remain culturally relevant and valuable.

We connect you with your customers and employees.

DISCOVER

We discover what your customers and employees value and if they consider your brand relevant or not, and why.

SEGMENT

We segment your customers and employees by what they value, and why, and specify design and content you should use to engage each segment. 

GUIDE

We provide a Story/Content Development Library so can tell the right stories about your brand to the right people.

We offer our clients a remarkable ability to intersect with audiences

in their daily lives in a way that builds and maintains brand loyalty.

Audit

Identify the brand you or your organization currently communicates to the public and any inconsistencies across your communication vehicles.

Discover

Build

Create an online Story Development Library that contains, for each audience segment:

  • Video Interviews Depicting Audience Guiding Narrative
  • Audience Guiding Narrative
  • The “Decision Code" 
  • Key Language 
  • Questions to ID segment membership
  • Story Themes

Monitor

Track the story the marketplace tells about your brand and reputation.
