Consulting
Brand &
Storytelling

It’s hard to tell your own story.

You offer something really good or unique. You want to be confident that every one of your clients and team members experience that value. But, you’re not sure and you’re alone with the questions.

WHO WE ARE FOR

We walk this journey with individuals, entrepreneurs, funds and family offices across the country.

WE EXIST
TO REVEAL AUTHENTICITY

THROUGH CURIOUS DISCOVERY &
CULTIVATING DEPTH.

The Alternative to marketing is

Reaching the Many to
Inspire the few.

We offer the bold prospect that authentic companies can risk telling
true stories and will do well because of it.

We start as curious listeners; people who are all ears, eyes, and minds focused on understanding, developing, and deepening the essence of what your business is about.

2. STORYCRAFTING

Then we distill, reveal, and articulate true stories that resonate deeply with people within your company (culture) and without (loyal clientele) and package them as deliverables.

Ultimately, we provide long term guidance and support as your brand stands up on wobbly legs, takes its first steps, and begins to move into your culture and the marketplace.

BE BOLD.
BE CURIOUS.

THE OUTCOMES WE HOPE FOR

  • Whether it’s with clients, or internally with your team, the ultimate goal of this work is to cultivate deeper and stronger relationships with the kind of people you do your best work with.

  • We are more consistently confident when we have done the work required to speak in sentences rather than paragraphs. No more “trying to find the words.”

  • A company identity that is deeply compelling, something that truly lasts. A real brand needs very little to say a lot, if you say it just right.

Ben had the wonderful pleasure of being interviewed by one of his closest and most long-time friends, Jason Catron and his Co-host Shelby Rollins to talk about the universal principles behind the brands we build. What is it that drives the meaning people feel when they interact with us?

The lost art of getting together
The lost art of getting together

Something incredible happened.
People came together, ate, drank, and enjoyed one another's company.
It was like we were starving and we came to the table feasting.

It wasn’t obvious at first.
The source of this vigorous “hunger”.

And then it hit, 
like a ton of bricks.

This is a “journal” entry in the most true sense of the word. Something struck me, maybe it was akin to “awe”. That combination of fear and wonder that makes you stop and ponder what just happened to you. This piece is an invitation to stop for a couple of minutes and fall into wonder of your own. What has inspired you this much recently?
