01 Crease · Positioning
Where the story bends.
Before anything is written, we decide where the sheet folds. We read the market, the coverage, the competitors and the founder's own words, then commit to a single position — the one claim everything else will be measured against.
Deliverable — positioning statement, message architecture, proof inventory
02 Form · Narrative
The shape the story takes.
The position becomes language. One narrative, written once, then set in the forms the work actually needs: the founder's story, the company line, the paragraph a journalist can lift without calling us to check it.
Deliverable — master narrative, biographies, boilerplate, key messages
03 Angle · Media relations
Asymmetry is what makes it fly.
A straight crease is familiar; the value lies in finding the unexpected angle. We approach the story the same way: we find the angle the journalist has not yet seen, place the right story in the right title at the right moment, and leave the rest to the editor.
Deliverable — media strategy, title mapping, pitch sequence, interview preparation
04 Edge · Executive presence
Leadership profile.
Seen edge-on, a folded sheet is almost a line — and that is how executives are read in public. We prepare the profile: the stage, the interview, the two sentences that cannot be distorted when quoted out of context, and the discipline to say nothing else.
Deliverable — executive positioning, media training, speaking programme, social voice
05 Flight · Reputation
What travels without us.
The work is finished when the story moves on its own — quoted by people we never briefed, in markets we never pitched. Reputation is not a campaign that ends. It is a form that keeps its shape, and it is maintained.
Deliverable — coverage programme, reputation monitoring, crisis readiness, quarterly review
