our process.
Research shows companies with a clear purpose outperform their peers. This is because purpose-driven businesses are better able to attract and retain top talent and are more appealing to the growing segment of purpose-conscious consumers. After nearly two-decades helping companies craft and tell their stories, we've learned three key steps to building an Alignd business: knowing your purpose, weaving it across the organization, and sharing it with others.
From defining your purpose and building a meaningful brand story to evaluating how employees and customers interact with your brand, we want to work with your team to define and activate your purpose. We also specialize in strategic planning and reputation management. With years of executive leadership experience on our side, we are strategic, efficient and committed to helping you grow your business on purpose.

This process usually occurs over eight to twelve weeks.
Deliverables for this process include:

- Corporate Values
- SWOT Analysis
- Competitive Audit Findings
- Survey Results (where applicable)

Employee + Culture Workshops
Coming out of Covid, people are feeling disconnected from their work and they have a greater desire to do work with meaning. We've designed partial and half day culture workshops to help employees reconnect with your company's purpose. During a workshop, we will reintroduce the company's purpose (or mission, vision and values) and then through a series of interactive exercises and discussion help your team see how what they do matters and where they fit into the bigger picture. The goals of this workshop are to:
- Re-affirm your purpose and values,
- Increase employee engagement / satisfaction,
- Open lines of communication,
- Inspire and motivate your team, and
- Encourage values-based decision-making
Awareness + Reputation Management
Becoming a purposeful business means building a reputation as a purposeful business. Leveraging almost two decades of marketing and communications experience, we’re here to help you tell your story. Following an audit of existing touch points, we will craft a strategic reputation roadmap. We will also pull from a host of marketing communications tools to help you share your purpose and find and tell stories that demonstrate your commitment to it.
This may include:
- Internal Communications
- Executive Communications
- Copywriting
- Media Relations
- Thought Leadership
- Social and Digital Content
