RECENT CASE STUDIES
STICKING THE LANDING
IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS
Pete Sauerborn became Executive Chair of FTD in 2022. In 2023, he parachuted in as the new CEO with only five days notice. Tasked with a turnaround of this 110-year-old company facing the headwinds of a down economy, Pete stuck the landing on day one, teed up a successful merger, led the company to their most profitable quarter ever, and handed over the reigns to the new CEO–all within six months! Hear how we helped Pete earn trust, land his narrative, and elevate his leadership. 
CREATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
The CEO of a circular economy startup engaged us to help his company secure funding for transforming one of the dirtiest industries on the planet. We designed a new narrative, built the pitch deck, and coached the CEO on his storytelling. In the first six months, our work helped him land meetings with Fortune 50 C-suite leaders, jumpstart their pilot, and unlock new opportunities for funding.
TRANSFORMING THE ENERGY INDUSTRY
The Storied Future led a workshop for the Microsoft Worldwide Energy & Resources team to evaluate their messaging. Then we designed a strategic narrative that mapped out a clear, compelling pathway to energy transformation that would help oil and gas, power and utilities, and mining customers do well and do good–all built on a foundation of shared values.
