How we can help
The Struggle is Real.
Getting the right strategy and marketing requires time, market research, an aligned team, and so much more. Most businesses and nonprofits are on a constant journey to grow and improve in order to increase impact. We know how it feels to be unsure of next steps, and we're here to help you get the clarity and support needed.
Work with Us
Product + Service Strategy
We help you design end to end
product + service experiences that meet customers’ genuine needs at every touchpoint.
Company + Brand Strategy
We work with you to translate the leadership teams' desires to create the future.
Together, we unify the suite of offerings and identify key partnerships to help you get there.
Here's How
1. FOCUS
Strategy Audit
If you need to:
Dig deeper into who your customer is, how you connect with them personally, and how it matches up to your offerings and current marketing strategy around those offerings. We identify a plan to bridge any gaps.
2. SPRINT
Workshop
If you need to:
Create new markets, capture non-customers, and expand paths to revenue streams.
We guide your team through a series of workshops to drive revenue growth.
3. IMPLEMENT
Retainer
If you need to:
Identify short and long term projects, and mobilize your team to execute on driving revenue growth.
The end goal here is to fire ourselves and equip your team with the tools they need to build an iterative cycle of innovation into your company.
There are people waiting to work with you, they just need to be told what it is, why they can't live without it, where they can reach you, when the timing is right, and how they'll experience what you offer.
Testimonials
Melissa Perry,
The Cradle Coach
Working with Lauren completely changed my business and has taken it to another level! She gave me the framework I needed to grow our company and guided me with a step by step action plan to execute my vision. The process was incredibly well-planned and targeted to our needs. Whether you are savvy or a novice entrepreneur, working with Lauren is invaluable. I am so grateful for her knowledge and insight.
Mike Gonzalez,
Perfect HQ
As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to spend most of your time working in your business rather than on your business. The Storywork process is fun and very insightful. Each working session I gained clarity and was able to put the perspectives I learned into practice - immediately. Lauren’s guidance and ability to ask the right questions, and dig beneath the years of data we had, gave me the accountability I needed to incorporate our “why” into every layer of the brand.
Kendra Brill,
Char-coal
Lauren genuinely considers who you are, and makes incredibly intuitive recommendations for small changes that yield big results.
StoryWork enabled incredible growth for me, which has had more impact than I can express.
