You built the business.
Let’s strengthen the story around it.
Custom brand engagements for established businesses ready to communicate with greater clarity, consistency and heart.
People don’t easily connect with businesses, they connect with what a business is able to make them feel.
Your product solves a problem, but your brand fulfills something deeper.
The strongest brands understand the emotional role they play in people’s lives and intentionally build around it.
That’s why we don’t start with content calendars, campaigns or deliverables.
We start by asking a bigger question: What does your brand mean to the people you’re trying to reach?
We start with a story.
Find The Story
We get underneath what you sell to understand your business, your audience, your history, your beliefs and the emotional need your brand can uniquely fill.
The Outcome:
Your overarching brand story.
Build The Message
We turn that story into a messaging framework that gives your organization a clear, repeatable way to communicate who you are, why you matter and what you want people to believe.
The Outcome:
A message your entire brand can speak from.
Put It Into The World
Once we know what needs to be said, we determine where and how it needs to be said. Together, we build a custom engagement around the places your brand needs to show up.
The Outcome:
Your story, intentionally deployed across your brand.
The deliverables can change. The story holding them together doesn’t.
Once we’ve established the story and messaging, we build the engagement around your goals, audiences and budget.

Not an agency on retainer, a brand partner with a point of view.
We’re not here to fill a content calendar or sell you deliverables you don’t need.
Our job and goal is to become deeply familiar with your business, uncover the story at the heart of it, and help you intentionally shape how that story is experienced in the world.
Sometimes that means a brand film, sometimes it’s a website, monthly thought leadership and PR. Sometimes it’s an ongoing partnership across nearly every place the brand shows up.

“Steve has an amazing ability to share a company’s story in an authentic and impactful way that connects to the heart of the audience.”
Kevin Pieh
CEO, Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery
We came in when Ellsworth was going through a large pivot with their visual brand and needed someone to help reshape their message. We started with an overarching brand messaging framework and then contracted with them for a year to help find where that new messaging should be deployed.
We wrote and filmed a brand video for them, audited and wrote new copy for their website, started a monthly blog that fit their goals and wrote a monthly newsletter for their internal employees to make sure everyone was on the same page. We handled and wrote their PR releases, took the lead on media opportunities, making sure they took the right shape, helped with talking points for any interviews and gave direction for their social channels.

How Our Custom Engagements Work
Same starting point, different destination.
Every engagement begins with understanding where you’re at as a company, what pain points you’re facing and how we can address them. Next we start refining your overarching story and messaging. From there, we determine what your business actually needs and build the engagement around it. Where does this story and messaging need to be deployed and how?
