WHAT IS YOUR PASSION?

Your Mission-Your Calling-Your Dream

We are told that in today’s fast-paced, digital-driven world…data, AI and slick product-driven marketing campaigns are the keys to success.

Indeed, they are important.

Yet sadly, there is a missing component to this formula - the intersection where authentic connection is possible.

It’s all about the power of your STORY.

DISCOVER THE POWER OF YOUR STORY

A DESTINATION OF CONNECTION

Defining your brand develops good ideas into clear strategies for success.

· As a company or individual, what is your identity?

· What is your Vision for the future, and how is it reflected in your products, staffing, budget and technology?

Armed with this clarity, what is the Story you want to tell?

In an ever-changing marketplace, many companies need a reset that refines their purpose, products, staffing, market niche and profile.

Once these areas are better defined, you have a bold and well-targeted story that needs to be told!

We can help throughout the process.

Every house of worship is challenged. Through tangible action, how can you encourage those who attend to connect better? Recently, we helped a church accomplish this through a strategy to capture and share individual and family Stories - their God Adventures.

As a result, church became more intimate in terms of life-giving relationships. Stories, played as part of worship services, become sharable to those who were hurting and seeking.
