WHO BENEFITS FROM
BRAND STORYTELLING & STRATEGY?
WE HELP BUSINESSES LIKE THESE DEMONSTRATE THEIR VALUE AND EXPERIENCE ABUNDANCE
-
Businesses in service industries or highly competitive markets need a clear differentiation and a reason for clients to choose you above anyone else. Stories also show the value of your services.
-
When your business is the mission, it’s critical to get your messaging on point and leverage stories that aren’t sanitized. The result: more awareness to move the hearts of donors, volunteers, and your community.
-
When capital and cash flow are wonky in your beginning phase, converting sales leads is important.
An strategy brand strategy, marketing communications plan and integrated storytelling delivers the right message to shorten that lead cycle, from the website to your pitch.
-
If you’re selling something less tangible, like a social movement, educational materials, or influential content, a brand story helps you pragmatically articulate your mission and value.
-
In a saturated field of coaches and educators who offer promises that disappoint, it’s important to show why you’re not like the rest. Brand storytelling sets you up as a trustworthy mentor who delivers real results with proven success stories.
WHAT IS BRAND STORYTELLING?
Brand storytelling combines an intentional brand and content strategy with emotive narratives to convey your mission, values, and unique characteristics. It ultimately creates an emotional connection with your audience.
Because people see themselves in your brand’s story, they are motivated to buy or take action. We weave this proven concept into the larger approach to your brand GPS.
CLIENT SUCCESS AFTER WORKING WITH US
OUR 5-PHASE PROVEN PROCESS GUARANTEES RESULTS
-
We can’t fix what we don’t know. This crucial first step is important in taking a deep dive into your business.
We tell clients that our questionnaire and interviews with you (and in some cases, your clients) is the most important critical first step in us understanding what the core challenges are and how to create a solid plan forward.
By acting as journalists for your business, we can write the appropriate story to move you from a marketing mess to total clarity.
-
After phase I is complete, we develop your brand strategy (your roadmap) and ensure your core marketing message—the introduction story of your business—is clear and resonant.
This involves discovery, goal-setting, and a fully developed core brand narrative (who, what, where, why, how, what makes you unique, etc.) along with actionable steps on how to leverage it immediately.
We also ensure you know who you’re targeting, how to speak to them, and which platforms you should consider. Not all marketing actions require heavy time on social media.
-
Once your brand narrative is complete, we manage the brand and marketing activation for you or guide you through the process on a consultative basis.
This can include:
A full brand launch
A new or revised website
Content marketing strategy
Social media strategy
Photography and videography
Sales presentations
…and more
Our goal is to ensure that your brand is cohesive, attractive and that you have the foundation built for long-term ROI.
If you’re a solopreneur and have time to implement our plans, you can choose to hire us to coach you on a monthly basis.
-
Once your sales and operations are flowing smoothly, we enter the “marketing whisperer” phase: storytelling.
We enhance your marketing with emotive narratives across all your marketing efforts.
In saturated industries and with the rise of content marketing using AI, humanizing your business will be more important than ever.
Our goal is to make your brand relatable on a micro level and show how you are creating an impact in your community.
-
Without data, we’re taking a shot in the dark. We help you set up the proper analytics and “scorecards” to ensure that what we’re doing is working.
This step doesn’t have to be complicated; transparency is the goal here. We also ask for metrics from clients (like new leads and closed business) to help us understand how our efforts are getting the results you want and what needs to be adjusted.
5x
That’s the average return on investment clients experience after we develop and launch an effective strategy.
MEET THE TEAM
Those fine lines mean we’ve got some serious brand experience.
We’re like journalists who understand marketing.
-
Marketing is telling and selling.
Storytelling is showing and emotively influencing.
Both are needed, but it takes skilled professionals who know how to sense the difference, tap into emotion, align storytelling with strategy, AND activate all of it effectively.
We each have 20+ years of experience in our fields to support you in everything from consultation to storytelling integration.
-
Stories fall flat because they aren’t emotive. In business, they tank when they also aren’t aligned with a strategy.
As a highly sensitive person (HSP), Michelle with the support of her experienced team tune into a deeper wavelength to dive into the “why”. We put ourselves in your shoes and your clients’ shoes. (That’s a lot of shoes!)
By truly understanding psychological drivers, we ethically create resonant stories and communications that stick.
-
We wouldn’t be here if we hadn’t proven successful with hundreds of client projects from our full-service agency days.
Stories have proven results to increase brand awareness and sales for businesses, yet they’re rarely integrated well into all the possible communications touch-points.
We help you define attainable performance metrics, including qualitative and quantitative over a reasonable period of time.
We also support you with the right resources or partners in fields beyond our scope to ensure total success from start to story.
