RE: More collective/Buford Presentation

Hello Todd,
From all of us here at StoryLabs, we want to say thank you for this opportunity to work with you. We are excited to help communicate your what’s next for the More Collective and it’s potential affiliation with the Buford foundation. 

We would be honored to work with you and your team to help bring this vision to life. Here are some ideas for how we could communicate the combination of these two brands. I look forward to discussing this further with you.

Thank you,

Don Smith

We Bring Your Story to Life.

Who Are We?

We are a collective of strategic thinkers, story curators, visionaries, and artisans. But our passion doesn’t lie in bringing our ideas to life. It lies in bringing your ideas to life.

You already possess all the clarity that your organization needs to move forward; it’s our job to discover how to find it and synthesize it, and see you move forward.

We Believe Our Clients Are Partners

We believe wholeheartedly that God has a unique Story to tell through your church. We believe the collective of unique churches in the kingdom somehow illustrates the fullness of the Story of God. Northwest has a part to play in the greater Story and we honored to partner with you to help discover it, and display it.

They took a concept and turned it into the prime communication tool to connect our 10,000 active employees and 6,000 retirees across North Carolina. From the strategic design of the newsletter to the actual interviewing and concept development work they were creative, innovative and cost effective. The writing was some of the best I’ve ever seen in my 32 year career.

I would recommend their services as marketing professionals, design gurus, interviewers, public relations specialists and project coordinators. Not only are they creative geniuses, but they have a genuine love and concern for people that is evident in their work.

I have worked with Don Smith (StoryLabs CEO) on the design of our last two campuses as well as various other ministry contexts. Very quickly, he helped identify the unique vision of The Summit Church and established guardrails throughout the design process to make sure the Summit story was being told subtly in these spaces. I have even used his help in on-boarding new team members and brainstorming new leadership structures.

If you are looking to design a new facility, or even make your current facility look and feel more like you, get Don and StoryLabs involved now. Their work is great and they will save you money along the way by helping you invest the right resources in the right places the first time.

The team at StoryLabs has been involved in multiple Eleven22 building projects as well as conferences and events that our leadership is involved in. The years of ministry experience they have, along with the years of building design, make them an incredible asset to any project. They are extremely helpful in providing clarity of vision and helping make hard budget decisions while not sacrificing the overall story the facility is communicating. I would highly recommend the team at StoryLabs to help you create your next environment. They get it.

If you are looking to build or even fresh up your space, all I can say is don't skip the StoryLab. There are things that live inside of you that you may not see. This team has the ability to draw those things out and use your facility to showcase that vision. Work with StoryLabs so you don't miss the clear story God has birthed in your church.

We Create Awareness

we create awareness.

Branding is simply how people experience “You”. How do your clients / customers / people experience you? Or better yet, how do you want them to experience you? Is there a gap between expectations and reality? Businesses and organizations often sacrifice Clarity on the alter of Creativity. In an effort to woo customers with gimmick and wow, we have forgotten how to clearly articulate the “Why”.

 

we bring your story to life.

Together, we will garner precise information from your vision and messaging in order to craft a comprehensive plan for an authentic application of your brand. You have a unique approach, and we look forward to bringing greater clarity and strategy to your efforts through Brand Identity Development, Brand Storytelling, Social Media, and print & digital media.
