Kestrel Financial
The rate was never the reason
A challenger bank competing on rates it could not afford to win. We moved the argument to what founders actually complained about: how long everything took.
Six engagements, and what
each one changed.
We publish the reasoning, not just the outcome. Each of these starts with the thing the company believed about itself that turned out not to be true.
Marin & Vale
Selling the routine, not the jar
Strong first orders, weak second ones. The fix was not a discount sequence — it was teaching people how to use what they had already bought.
Hollis Bay
Twelve hotels, one voice, no house style
A group whose properties had nothing visually in common, and should not have. We built an identity that lives in language and structure rather than in a logo lockup.
Northfield Athletic
Built for the fourth mile
A running brand talking to elites while being bought by people training for their first half marathon. We stopped apologising for the actual customer.
Orlo
Making the boring part legible
Enterprise warehouse software with a nine-month sales cycle and a website that explained nothing. We wrote for the person who has to defend the purchase internally.
Verity Health
Booking before symptoms
Selling a health check to people who feel fine. The barrier was never price — it was not wanting to find out.
