RE: Who is Storylabs & How Can We Partner?

On behalf of our team here at Storylabs, we would like to thank you for the opportunity to discuss a strategic partnership as we serve the Kingdom together. We would be honored to work with you and your team as you reach your community and beyond. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

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.

our approach is simple.

We Believe Our Clients Are Partners
We see every church we work with as a partner in ministry. Much different than a sub-contractor, Storylabs is most often hired because of our ministry related work in some of the most dynamic churches in the country. Because of the shared vision and collaborative design strategies we engage in, Storylabs is honored to be a strategic ministry partner with the church. Our calling is to come along side you and help you achieve your calling.

How We Can Help

Our Strategy:
How do you develop a new culture within your organization? In a culture that’s consistently leaning more and more toward right brain communication, it has never been more important to surround your teams and organization with STORY.

It is one thing to have new principles that you’d like your team to understand, but it requires more than teaching principles to get your team to live out a new culture.

Storylabs has years of experience working with some of the most influential organizations in the nation helping them identify the needs of their culture and then subtly communicate that new direction to their audience.

We love to use imagery and key phrases to tell Stories. It never fails. Audiences lean in and not only learn to understand it, but also become inspired by the overall STORY being told and start to live it.

When you’re trying to accomplish something big, an outside voice is invaluable. The problem is, sometimes consultants think their job is to change the client. That isn’t who Storylabs is. They didn’t come in looking to change us – their goal was to help us succeed while staying true to who we are. Really, the truth is that Storylabs wanted to help us do MORE than we thought we could do. They helped us see challenges before they became problems, encouraged us to find creative solutions, always keeping the big picture in mind. Seacoast is starting a new chapter; Storylabs helped us write some great opening lines.

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.

I have worked with Storylabs on the design of our last two campuses as well as various other ministry contexts. Very quickly, they 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 their 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 facilities look and feel more like you, get 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.

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.

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.
