Is your story engaging, COMPELLING enough?

 

Story projects I collaborate on range from creating a complete story platform (mapping out the right & resonant voice, positioning, core messaging and more) for a client's market-facing communications. To providing story lines for narratives, campaigns, key presentations; pitches; film and book projects. To framing and writing top-line content for web sites, capital-raising materials, video and audio scripts. To curating a body of new or existing or evolving story elements. 

All projects are informed at the outset by an intensive, strategic story briefing I prepare and lead. Likewise, whenever possible, by informal, anecdotal input-gathering among a cross-section of clients' clients, prospects, healthy skeptics, other influencers.
