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 in the mission and vision of the team at Walk Church. Having talked to and done some small pieces for Heiden when he was just working on the concept of WALK and getting to see it come all the way to where it is now. Heiden has been dreaming of this building and what could be done with it for years. We would be honored to help in any way we can to see the vision take it’s next step.
How We Can Help
Our Strategy:
“What’s written on the walls will happen in the halls.”
How do you install a new culture In 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 come to understand it, but also become inspired by the overall STORY being told and start to live it.
we create environments.
Did you know your physical environments have the ability to communicate? What if your walls could communicate a more clear understanding of the mission and values of your organization? Imagine your environments crafting a beautifully clear portrait of your brand’s message.
we bring your story to life.
Our expertise lies in discovering your ideas and bringing them to life in a way you never imaged possible. We look forward to working with you to design an experience engaging your audience in a multi-sensory environment that tells your story.

we create moments.
Life is happening all around us and at a faster pace than ever before. We are inundated with information literally every second of the day. So how do you find the meaning in it all? We have to find significance in the moments, the standout moments. Whether you are attending a church service, a conference or a special event, the odds that you will remember every word spoken to you is small. However, if there is a metaphoric moment that can emphasize the message being communicated, you can have life-changing impact and create a lasting memory.
we bring your story to life.
We are expert moment creators. With more than 20 years of creative programming experience, StoryLabs is regularly brought in to add those elements making your event significant and ultimately memorable. We find ways to take your intended message and blend it with visual metaphors to help the audience experience your story.
You have a clear and unique message to communicate. StoryLabs will work with your team to help create a series of experiences or moments for your event. We will come alongside your team to make sure your audience does more than simply hear your words. The moments created will help them experience your story in a lasting and meaningful way.
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.
