A sharper reason to engage
The right story doesn't persuade—it names something your market already knows, but can't quite say — clearly enough that people stop and think "we should pay attention to this." In B2B, first-touch stakeholders are often practitioners and managers across functions like IT, finance, and engineering, who are the first to encounter you, evaluate you, or get asked for an opinion. Your job in that moment isn't to deliver the full sales narrative. It's to give them something concrete to evaluate, and a story they can confidently carry to decision-makers, in their own words.
Product + technical narrative
We work with founders to focus the product narrative and technical story on the territory you specialize in. The result is a clear, repeatable throughline your team can use to steer roadmaps, anchor launches, and describe the product day to day.
Proof that holds up under scrutiny
We organize your proof so it all points to one specialty—how you frame wins, which metrics you lead with, and the exact words customers use. Instead of scattered testimonials and one‑off slides, you get a proof system buyers can verify.
Visual system for instant legibility
We build a visual + verbal system that makes your story legible at a glance—before anyone reads a line of copy. Used across sites, decks, and enablement, it builds recall—people recognize the pattern and can repeat your story from memory.

The buying process is a relay—from the first messenger to the exec, to security, to procurement, to peers. If recall breaks, the deal stalls.

A story is worth building on when it's vacant, specific, and defensible.
Vacant: it isn’t already owned (or credibly claimed) by a competitor in your category.
Specific: it’s precise enough that someone can say it back and use it to compare you against alternatives.
Defensible: you can prove it with real strengths—product, technical narrative, customer outcomes—and sustain it over time.
Broad claims like "better," "next-gen," or "AI-powered" don't hold up—they're generic, time-bound, and don't offer a clear basis for comparison. A story worth building on is ownable territory: clear enough to travel, and concrete enough to hold up under scrutiny.
-
A brand is a channel with limited capacity—and it fills up fast. Communication works when it's efficient: clear signal, low noise, minimal redundancy. Exceed that and the story distorts as it gets repeated. Your story has to survive relay across people and contexts. Spread across multiple claims and you own none. One clear enterprise story—compressed around one specialty and repeated everywhere—that's what people remember (and can say back).
-
Finding story-market fit and building the narrative + design system around it is a real refresh — it resets how your specialty reads, sounds, and shows up everywhere your market encounters it. What it doesn't include is your logo or wordmark; we design around your existing marks rather than redesign them. If that level of identity work is the right move, we scope it separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Focused and fast, never rushed. Expect weekly check-ins and direct collaboration. The work moves quickly because there's no ambiguity about what we're building toward. Throughout the engagement, our team works closely alongside yours—we're available to answer questions, work through design challenges in real time, and make sure everything we build holds up: consistent, current, and ready to use in the moments that decide deals.
-
The same way we start—by asking your market. We capture a quick baseline at the outset (what self-finders and buyers think you are, in their words), then re-check once work starts shipping to see whether recall has shifted: can people describe your story accurately without prompts, and are they carrying it to decision-makers on their own?
-
Engagements start at $42,500 (17 days at $2,500/day). This provides sufficient runway to find story-market fit, build the narrative + design system, and apply it to your highest-priority surfaces.
A 30% non-refundable deposit ($12,750) is due upon signing. The remaining fees are invoiced monthly based on days used. All days must be used within 12 months of the start date.
To proceed, you will complete a self-serve agreement and secure checkout. We will then schedule the initial days and prioritize the work for the fastest impact.
We help innovative technical B2B companies find story-market fit and build the design + narrative system that brings that story to market.
