Storytelling for Organisations & Brands

If approached with curiosity, corporate videos needn’t be dull.

The simplest way to be curious is to ask questions that you don't know the answer to. This is why bringing in an outsider who has made a career out of their curiosity can work.

The Challenge

Many organisations struggle with content that:

  • Looks polished but lacks authentic connection

  • Relies on corporate clichés rather than real stories

  • Fails to differentiate from competitors

  • Doesn't capture what makes an organisation unique

  • Requires significant investment but delivers underwhelming results

CASE STUDY: AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT

When a relative newcomer into an agricultural machinery sector wanted ideas and a content production plan to reach a larger client base. We knew this wasn’t just a case of making promotional content about tractors. Instead we looked at what their customers wanted to know, positioning them as a trusted partner to farmers.

    • Selling equipment in a market dominated by established Western brands

    • Supporting customers spread across vast geographical areas

    • Building trust with farmers in a sector experiencing major shifts text goes here

  • Identified distinct customer segments with different storytelling needs

    • Created a content strategy focused on knowledge-sharing rather than sales messages

    • Developed formats including maintenance videos, podcasts and customer testimonials

    • Designed a sustainable content workflow aligned with farming seasonsext goes here

  • A strategy that builds long-term relationships rather than just selling products. By becoming a valuable knowledge hub within the farming community, the client showcases their expertise, builds credibility, and creates a library of resources that continues to generate sales and strengthen their brand.
