How we work together

Three ways to tell your story and become a movement.

01

Sprint

Start with a sprint. Sprints are fixed-scope, one-to-two month processes to unstick your brand and create movement.

See sprints →
02

Build

Bring it to life. Video, websites, campaigns, events, activations, photography, social — scoped to what you’re building and managed end to end.

See capabilities →
03

Lead

Add a senior brand leader to your team — directing and generating campaigns, and leading the rollout as you scale.

Produce a project.

Scoped to what you’re
building. Let’s talk.

Strategy is only half of it. We produce, through core partner contractors, the things that carry a movement into the world — and manage the rollout end to end.

03 — Lead

Fractional Leadership

Every sprint or project has the potential to expand into ongoing partnership — a senior brand leader in the room, directing the rollout of everything we’ve built together.

We work the way we always have: rooted in real relationship. We learn your people, your pace, and what you’re actually building — then lead accordingly. Not a vendor on retainer. A partner who is genuinely invested in where you’re going.

Monthly retainer — typically 4–8 hours a week, depending on what we’re working to accomplish — three-month minimum — one brand at a time, by design.

Questions

Consulting, answered.

What does a brand strategy consultant do?

A brand strategy consultant helps an organization find the true story at its center and build the strategy, messaging and identity that carry it. Our work starts with a fixed-scope sprint and can grow into production and fractional brand leadership.

What is AI adoption and change management?

It is the work of bringing AI into how your team operates in a way people understand and trust. We help you find where AI genuinely helps, tell your team a clear story about why you are adopting it, roll it out in stages, and train people on the tools they will actually use.

Who do you work with?

Mission-driven organizations: nonprofits, founders, faith-based organizations, companies and causes that want people to join what they are building.

Do you only work with organizations in Minneapolis?

No. We are based in Minneapolis and work with organizations across Minnesota, the United States and beyond.
