Your brand has
a story.
Right now, it’s out of focus.
Strategy for founders who can feel their brand slipping — before the next campaign burns another quarter.
The symptoms are always the same. The founders just can’t see them yet.
Average pitch decks a misaligned brand goes through before finding language that lands.
Of Series A marketing budgets are spent on campaigns built on positioning that was never validated.
Typical time lost when a new CMO inherits a team executing without a strategic thesis.
Who calls
- Series A founders rewriting positioning after a failed launch
- CMOs inheriting a team that’s been executing without a thesis
- Agency owners who need an outside strategist to audit their own work
What they’re sitting with
- A deck that hasn't landed in six consecutive meetings
- Campaigns burning budget with no clear attribution to pipeline
- A brand that means something different to every person on the team
The Five-Frame
Focus Audit
A proprietary framework refined across forty-three brand repositioning engagements. Every frame has a deliverable. Every deliverable has a decision attached.
Signal Audit
Pull every public-facing brand signal — website, decks, ads, sales emails. Map what the brand is actually saying versus what leadership believes it says.
Perception Gap
Five customer interviews. Three internal stakeholders. One clear gap between perceived and intended positioning.
Thesis Reconstruction
Build the single strategic thesis that every campaign, deck, and hire should be able to point back to.
Message Architecture
Translate the thesis into a hierarchy: core narrative, three proof pillars, objection map, and segment-specific variations.
Activation Roadmap
A 90-day sequenced plan for rolling the new positioning into every channel — no big-bang launch, just deliberate frame-by-frame advancement.
Blurry problems. Sharp outcomes.
Veridian
The Problem
Six-month plateau after launch. Conversion rate at 0.8% despite strong product-market signals.
What Changed
Repositioned from feature-led to outcome-led messaging. Rebuilt ICP from scratch. New positioning tested in three campaigns within 45 days.
Kestrel Health
The Problem
New CMO inherited four agencies, eleven active campaigns, zero shared strategic thesis.
What Changed
Full signal audit in week one. Consolidated to two agencies. Single positioning brief distributed to all channels.
Foundry & Co.
The Problem
Boutique agency losing pitches to competitors with weaker creative but clearer strategy narrative.
What Changed
Rewrote agency positioning. Built a case study architecture that led with client outcomes, not process.
