You are starting fresh or pivoting, and need to define your story before building anything else.

You know you are different, but cannot explain it clearly, and it is costing you clients.

Your messaging is generic, and you are tired of blending into the noise.

You are growing, but your team, partners, and investors need a clear narrative to rally around.

You need a compelling story for pitch decks, proposals, and high-stakes conversations.

Your business has grown past the startup phase, but all your marketing still relies on you personally.




Most brand strategies focus on visuals, logos, and design systems. Story Extraction focuses on narrative, like the words, positioning, and messaging that communicate who you are. It is the foundation that comes before design, so every visual decision is rooted in strategy.
No, it is not necessary to have your visual brand figured out first. In fact, it is better to start with the story and positioning before visuals. When your narrative is clear, design becomes easier because it has a strategic foundation to support.
That is exactly why this service exists. We extract the story from you through strategic questioning. So, you don’t need to be a storyteller, but you need to show up and answer honestly while we handle the rest.
Yes, you can use this for investor pitches and proposals. Many founders use their Story Extraction deliverables for pitch decks, proposals, and high-stakes presentations. The messaging kit is designed to work across all business contexts.
You can take the deliverables and implement them yourself, or work with us on execution. Many clients start here, then add our Content Engine or Website Design services.
In the discovery phase, we need 2-3 hours of your time for deep-dive conversations. After that, you will review and provide feedback on the strategy document (1-2 hours). So, the total time investment is just 3-5 hours over 2-3 weeks.
