Arthur Germain
Principal & Chief Brandteller
Your Chief Brand Officer
Have you ever overheard a new salesperson describe what your company does in front of a prospective customer?
Did it make you stop short?
That’s a brand governance problem, not a sales problem.
We architect your brand so it stops depending on you always being in the room.
We establish your Category of One, install your Story Operating System, and maintain clarity as your firm scales.
We turn all your scattered brand stories into one clear, consistent system your entire firm can use.
For over 20 years, we’ve worked with founder-led firms to codify their differentiation through brand stories before growth diluted it.
Category leaders architect their brand story before competitors copy it.
Brandtelling isn’t a rebrand shop (although we guide brand refreshes). We’re a structural brand architecture firm.
Diagnose the Issues Before Making a Change.
You likely don’t have a marketing problem.
You probably have a brand architecture problem.
The Story OS Diagnostic reveals:
Where your brand is weak.
Where differentiation is eroding.
Where messaging has begun to fade.
Whether alignment or maintenance is the right next step for your firm.
As your firm grows:
Messaging begins to drift.
New service messages blur.
Sales language feels weak.
Internal alignment depends on memory instead of architecture.
When your story lives in your memory instead of infrastructure, growth slows, sales cycles increase, and leadership becomes the bottleneck.
If you’re scaling, you already have narrative drift. The only question is how much.
