The messages originate from experiences and told as stories. The storytelling makes it possible for messages to be received by a wider audience.

What makes us do storytelling in the first place and target a larger audience? A story or tale could be pure fiction or true nonfiction, however, they consist both of a narrative. So what to make out of it? Around the fire, you might be cheerful but we are seated together because of a reason. We used to deliver an experience from one to another and maybe with the use of some “effects”. Our great ancestors are the greatest storytellers and professionals when it comes to overdelivering a message. A tale could easily determine life or death. Communication is not only existing in a written form and especially not for our ancestors. Visuals play a vital role in both the reptile and limbic brain when it comes to survival or not. Stories and tales could be packed with “effects” that would make us understand the point clearly. On the other hand, this could also be used to lead us into troubles.
We operate on a business-to-business (B2B) market, however, our tone-of-voice is aimed at a broader audience. We find ourselves in a time where the business-to-consumer (B2C) is influenced by B2B aspects and vice versa. Traditionally the two groups had their own rules and structure but now both have influenced one another. Before the B2B would be facts-driven and a rational environment. As the B2C culture grew then more elements were added such as impulsive purchase and emotionally driven consumption. Eventually, the growth of the groups built a bridge between them for the elements freely to interact and influence each other. The markets became a democratic marketplace where all are equal when selling and buying no matter if it is a company or consumer. We were founded based on friendly-relations that we wanted to carry in our communication. Our talk-and-walk was used for communication. We serve eCommerce companies and 3PL providers with consulting and solutions. At the same time, we find ourselves within a wide industry and deep networks. We owe to treat all equally.
Our style is to be found in the process and with the respect of storytelling. We see playfulness as a gift that we are born with but it should be maintained for otherwise, it will disappear. A playful approach goes very well in hand with friendly manners. We see our connections like friends and treat them like friends. Friends are always helping and we will continue to do that.
We try with different ways to deliver a message as long as the core is the same. The process always makes us more aware of who we are. We are very happy to have this opportunity to share our playful process and what messages that occur from it. Our communication is evolving and below we have collected three messages that originate from the same idea but told in three different ways.
