WHO I WORK WITH
Cultural and heritage organisations with a story that deserves a wider audience. Makers and creative businesses who can't quite find the words for what they do. And the family and community businesses whose story comes from somewhere real, even if they'd never think to say so themselves.
If you're after a punchy tagline by Friday, I'm probably not your woman. If you want to know what you're actually about, and say it with confidence for years to come, I am.
HOW IT WORKS
Find the thread. What runs underneath everything you do, whatever it happens to be called this year.
Work out your character. How you show up, and why people trust you.
Shape the story. The words that explain you to funders, visitors, customers and your own team.
Hand it over. A plan your people can run, with measures that show it's working. And where it needs design, I design it too.
Brand Story Audit. Start here. I look at how you're telling your story now, show you where it's landing and where it isn't, and give you a clear list of what to fix first.
Point Zero Sprint. The whole thing, done properly. Eight to ten weeks, and by the end you'll be telling your story yourself.
Events and campaigns. The story behind the event, carried all the way through the promotion.
Talks and workshops. Start at Point Zero, a one-hour session on why story matters, for enterprise programmes, universities, festivals and conferences.
