 Small businesses struggle to be heard in the marketplace.

We help them elevate their brand by telling better stories.

Is anybody listening to you?

You know the reasons you wake up every day and get after it — the dreams you’re chasing, the value of your ideas, the sweat and tears you’ve spent getting to where you are. But, do your customers?

Good storytelling is no accident.

It’s the result of careful planning, clear strategy, and an engaging voice. And, just because you’re good at what you do, doesn’t mean you’re good at telling others about it. You need a partner who knows how to tell your story, better than you thought possible. That’s where we can help.

 

We can help.

Professional content marketing doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or time-consuming. It just can’t be boring.

Because you have a

story worth telling

Why “cultivate” content?

The marketplace is never stagnant. Your content can’t be either. Cultivation is a vision for continuous improvement in pursuit of excellent results. It’s intentional, intelligent, and informed. And it’s a unique kind of expertise that you won’t find just anywhere.

  • Your subject matter expertise runs deep. And, you’ve got great ideas. We know what it’s like when nobody wants to listen. And we know the frustration of trying to find the right words.

  • Your customers get bombarded with thousands of marketing messages per day. How will you stand out? You need a strategy for developing consistent, compelling content. The kind of stuff your customers actually WANT to read.

  • You’re too busy closing deals and growing your business to build a content library worth reading. That’s where we come in — delivering in-house expertise with outsourced scalability.

your partner for

better storytelling

 
 

Like having in-house Talent.

From quick-hitting social campaigns to technical whitepapers, we’ve done it all. And, from Fortune 200 business units to entrepreneurial start-ups, we work with any client that’s the right client.

Because we work to first understand your story, we’re able to quickly support your efforts in telling the story.

With an outsider’s perspective.

We understand the frustration of having deep expertise in your field but not having the time or ability to put the right words in front of the right audience.

But, we also understand your audience in ways you might not have even realized. We work to help you frame your story from your customers’ point of view because that’s what they care about most.

 

And We’ve worked with some pretty cool people.

 

How we help tell better stories:

 

Story Framework

$3,600 flat fee

Before you can tell your story effectively, it must be understood properly.

To clarify your message and lay the foundation for successful content marketing, Cultivation Studio will work with you during a half-day workshop to map out a comprehensive content strategy. Then, we will deliver a narrative report that carefully explains your story framework, along with your brand positioning statement and a 500 word pitch.


Content Strategy

Starting at $4,800 for 48 topics

Content doesn’t happen accidentally; It’s the result of intentional planning.

Based on your audience and goals, Cultivation Studio will develop a detailed content calendar with blog titles and social/email headlines for the duration of your content campaign as well as production and posting schedules.


Content Execution

$3,000 for 4 articles per month

Consistent content creation requires dedicated storytellers.

For clients who need additional help executing their content strategy, Cultivation Studio will manage the writing, editing, and social/email design work to generate your storytelling assets based on the approved content calendar.


Full scope of services

If there’s another part of your story that could be told better, we’re there for it, too.
