“THE STORY IS THE STRATEGY” – Together we craft a story that states clearly what your prospect is and more importantly, why anyone should care. The resulting strategic narrative instils confidence and coherence within and without through a unifying story that guides your business and aligns your team while clearly and concisely communicating the core brand message with a wider audience.
“CONTENT IS KING” – Here at the stage where your story is ready to meet the world, we apply the core brand story to a strategic targeted narrative designed to reach your specific audience(s) and have a specific, predetermined result – Be it engagement, awareness, sales or growth, the KPIs can be as diverse as your needs.
“AUDIENCE FIRST – Using a combination of research, expertise and ideation we map the touch points of how your audience (potential investors / customers / users / fans as necessary) will come into contact with the brand story (as defined in the previous phases). We are then left in a perfect position to start generating story arcs and content paths to be released via these relevant channels.
