The Core Message Manifesto
The One Definitive Messaging Asset Most Founders Are Missing
Data shows most founders spend up to $10,000 on visual brand assets (the paint-job of the vehicle) before they can answer basic questions about their core positioning or target audience (the engine).1
Data also shows 81% of companies deploy off-brand content2 due to a lack of a documented messaging and positioning strategy, forcing them to spend up to 1.75x more on marketing to fix the resulting confusion.3
The Core Message Manifesto brings the seven elements of our Story-Message Alchemy Workshop into one cohesive messaging system that guides everything your brand says, creates and stands for.
1. Industry baseline for entry-level visual brand kits, per Slam Media Lab, MetaBrand, and Hedrick. 2. Marq (formerly Lucidpress) & Demand Metric, State of Brand Consistency Report. 3. System1 & IPA, five-year creative consistency study.

Evan Galeano
Award-winning filmmaker, brand messaging strategist
In 2018, I got a phone call from my Dad: my little brother Daniel, who has special needs, had been in a near-fatal accident, and my Dad's own heart problems meant he might have to sell the house. I urged my parents to let me share our story. A short documentary with a clear message of gratitude led to over 300 shares, and our community raised over a year of living expenses for my parents to get back on their feet. That was the moment I discovered the positive impact that a resonant, concisely told story with a clear message could create.
That experience led me to believe that storytelling can change the world by bringing communities together around a common cause. That belief became my mission: helping founders find the clear, resonant words for what they do, so they can make a greater impact and change more lives.
"The most powerful person in the world is the storyteller. The storyteller sets the vision, values, and agenda of an entire generation that is to come" - Steve Jobs
