building the brand and putting it to work across digital, marketing and sales.

We help growing B2B service organisations close the gap between what the business has become and what customers can see, clarifying the proposition, building

Brand Authority Gap.

Does your brand still promote the

business you've become

You may have added new services, entered new markets or developed deeper expertise. From the outside, customers may still see an unclear proposition, an outdated identity or disconnected offers.

01

Seen

Customers struggle to find, recognise or remember the expertise you offer.

We help you build visibility

02

Understood

People reach you, but still have to work hard to understand what you do and why it matters.

We help you create clarity

03

Chosen

Your offer is understood, but the reasons to choose you  are not strong enough.

We help you strengthen preference

If customers have to work out your value for themselves, you make choosing you harder than it needs to be.

Explore the gap

what drives our work.

We love nothing more than building brands people want to be part of.

We ask questions, notice what others pass over and find the idea that brings the business into focus.

​

Then we turn that thinking into a clearer story, crafting connections using a distinctive identity and experiences people can recognise, remember and use.

What you promise

customers only matters

if the experience

behind  it tells

the same story.

The difference is
just not visible yet

When your expertise

has evolved, but the 

brand around it is still 

telling an 

older story.

Matt Nowell - Founder of StoryLabs Creative

“Your brand works better when the story customers hear, the experience they have and the way your people bring it to life all reinforce the same idea.”

I created StoryLabs Creative to help businesses make those connections. My background spans brand, employee experience, design thinking and commercial change, so I look beyond the logo to how the full system works.
