What you have is powerful.
It just needs to be untangled and aligned.

Fast-growing organizations face complex challenges.

Maybe your startup has a great idea, but is struggling to get investors to understand your vision. Perhaps your organization is pivoting and you want to think through how you’ll communicate the shift.

Confusion is a potent repellant. Clarity, on the other hand, is incredibly powerful. It catalyzes teams, dissolves resistance, attracts opportunities, and captivates decision-makers. Once the big idea is clear, all strategy, communication, and design can quickly align to communicate it.

Whether it’s the fibers of a communication strategy pulling in too many different directions, a knotted pile of content you aren’t sure how to leverage, or strands of your brand identity that aren’t working together—your “mess” is just opportunity in disguise. 

At Cleese + Co, we help you untangle what isn’t working, and develop something that is stronger, smarter and working in unison. Our superpower is seeing and communicating the silver thread that runs through your work, the big idea that makes your offering so impactful for your clients.

Ready to get untangled? Let’s chat.

We live for this stuff.

  • "Cleese + Co is truly results-driven."

    I contacted Cleese + Co to help develop branding and a pitch deck shortly after founding my company. At the time, we were in the process of fundraising for a large housing project and needed equity financing and a corporate visual identity in a hurry.

    They helped us synthesize dense content into pithy marketing language to help with the fundraising efforts and website development. Cleese + Co is truly results driven. With her help, TPW Investments exceeded its fundraising goals 40% and increased its cold outreach response rate by 50%. I gladly recommend Cleese + Co to any entrepreneur or business entity seeking a creative, results-oriented expert.
