Discover your
business advantage
It begins here
your business story
Being seen in a crowded marketplace isn't easy. Being remembered, even harder.
Your business has a story — shaped by why you started, what drives you, and how you work.
That story is what sets you apart from every competitor who does what you do.
With a compelling story, customers don't just notice you. They remember you.
Visible
What you do can be replicated.
Your story can't.
That's your Business Advantage
and that's how you stop
blending in.
Memorable
People remember stories.
Not facts. Not figures. Stories.
With storytelling at the heart of
your marketing and sales, the
right people remember you.
Growth
When you stop competing on
price and start being chosen for
who you are, everything changes.
That's what a
compelling story does.
Your business story
is your business advantage
Brands like BA and Virgin Atlantic compete fiercely in the same sector, yet they're very different. They stand out.
Why? Because each tells a unique story.
But brand stories aren’t the reserve of global giants.
No, your audience is people too and people respond to stories more than facts and figures - that will never change*.
What continues to change is the ever-increasing volume of sales and marketing messages - thats why storytelling is more important than ever.
Stories build trust. Customers become brand advocates — they don't just buy once, they keep coming back. And they champion what you do to others.
Before your marketing. Before you sell. First, your story.
That's your business advantage.

Helping you see
the way ahead
When you're at the centre of your business, it's sometimes hard to step back and see the whole picture.
You see the day-to-day, the details, the challenges as isolated problems.
Did you know that 71% of UK businesses don't make it past year three and 30% beyond ten years. However, in both instances, it's rarely because they weren't good enough.*
This is where we come in.
We help you see and spot the golden threads — the story that got your business started and what will help you continue to grow.
Your brand story. Your business advantage.

Discovering your
business story
At the heart of what we do is, is what we call discovery.
Here, we ask the right questions that reveal your unique business threads.
Threads are good stuff your business does and creates. Threads are what drive growth.
Listen
First, the fact-find. What does your business do? Who is your target audience? What are you trying to achieve?
We listen and build a clear picture of you and your business.
Reveal
Next, we dig in. We spot patterns, find opportunities you haven't seen yet.
We look to uncover
the threads that
run through you and
your business.
Plan
Now for strategy. Whether it's sales, marketing, brand management, or all three — we create a plan that fits your business needs.
One that works for now and for the longer term.
Do
Finally, we craft communications that help you stand out from competitors.
These resonate with your audience and are key to sustainable long-term growth.
Four pillars
one busines story
Before your marketing. Before you sell. First, your story.
Your brand, communications, marketing and sales all work harder when they're built
around a story that's uniquely yours.
Without it — you're forgotten. With it — you're the obvious choice.
Marketing
Create marketing that connects with customers and
drives growth — from strategy and brand positioning
through to campaigns and launches.
Business Development
Find the right opportunities, build strong partnerships,
and develop sales processes that turn prospects
into loyal customers.
Brand Management
Keep your brand consistent everywhere to protect what makes you recognisable, whilst ensuring every touchpoint reinforces all of your marketing.
Communications
Tell your story clearly across everything you do — from
brand messaging through to content that
genuinely connects.
It’s a complicated world, it's a noisy world. There’s not much of an opportunty for people to remember much about us.

one clear pattern
Without a business story, you just blend in. Without a business story, you become a price comparision website.
Simon Saunders, founder of CompellingStoyr has worked alongside global brands, charities, SMEs and start-ups and has seen the same pattern emerging.
When you strip away the branding of organisations without a story, they could easily be mistaken for a competitors.
But it needn’t be like that.
