Woden utilized their custom stroy telling program to interview clients, employees and our markets to create a Story Kernel and Story Seminar that captured the eesence of who we are.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Woden provided us with the tools to tell our story to our clients and potential clients, but equally important to share with each of our colleagues who we are and how we service our clients. In short, we found a clear way to talk about what makes us different and essential.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Anya was fantastic to work with. Her attention to detail, curiosity, and commitment shone through every step of the process. All those interviewed by Anta gave her very high marks for her process and professionalism, and her ability to capture how those people felt about what we did was critical. Anya never missed a deadline and was ahead of us ever step of the way.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Woden performed market research on our company, our product and completed various interviews with customers and partners. Once they learned about our company, they produced 3 different deliverables, each one building on the previous. The first was a StoryKernal which walks a customer (the hero) through the story we are facing in construction. It helped tie values and actions into a story. The second deliverable was called the StorySeminar. In this, they provided us with mission statements, vision, core pillars and beliefs, and help identify our brand even further than we had it. The third deliverable is called the StoryGuide which provides detailed phrasing and approaches for different customers along the way of the journey and sell process, providing copy and actions to help engage potential customers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

For each deliverable Woden provided, we were able to see their understanding of our company, what we do, what our culture is, and what our current brand is in the market. The confidence I had for them was strengthed each time they produced a delivery because it showed they understood the goal. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Items were delivered on time and were very professional. If anything, they were waiting on me for some of the time. They were very responsive with what they needed from me and also whenever I had questions, they were quick to reply or set up a call. Without much current marketing material we could provide them with, they did great with what we had and were able to inspire more. 

What was your primary form of communication with Woden?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I've not spoken with many companies like this, but their whole company idea about creating stories to capture audiences is very exciting to me, and their ability to adapt and learn our world so quickly was very impressive.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

I feel like it did take some time to get to the heart of our goals, but I don't think it could have been done differently. For them to fully understand our business and our model, it does take time. If it were shorter, it probably would not be as informative and more importantly, not as genuine. 

Not being in the marketing world, some of the wording and messaging was over my head, so I was slow to understand some of the concepts initially.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We wanted to simplify the way our brand shows up in the market, including clarifying various differentiators and our positon within the market. Woden did interviews with clients and our associates, as well as research on our competitors. From that they were able to create brand pillars that they presented to senior management and our sales force. The final deliverable included tangible ways we could deploy the content.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

We expect to see an increase in top of funnel activities, including discovery calls and content engagement. We are still too early for that.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The Woden team committed and delivered on timelines that we were comfortable with. They met with us on a regular cadence and always came with deliverables seeking feedback.

Woden was able to meet us where we are, in terms of how mature we were and ready to take the content and run with it. They then did a good job at understanding our business and industry.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

Woden is very good at storytelling and gave us a lot to work with. The final deliverable is a written guide, which was harder to grasp than the story and presentation style of earlier milestones. Different ways of learning, I believe.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We engaged Woden to craft a comprehensive strategic narrative for RePath, aimed at helping our team align around a singular brand story and executed on it across all touchpoints. The scope included deep discovery, workshops, and strategic consultation to ensure our messaging resonated with both internal teams and external audiences.

Key deliverables included:

 • StoryKernel – a clear and compelling strategic narrative that positions RePath as essential to the future of criminal justice reform through proactive, data-driven transformation.

 • StoryGuide – a tactical blueprint for applying the narrative across our sales funnel, marketing channels, and customer experience; complete with pitches, buyer personas, objections and calls-to-action, product messaging, and more.

 • Brand Messaging Assets – including elevator pitches, origin story, positioning statement, differentiators, customer stories, and guidelines for internal and external brand voice.

 • StorySeminar – a live collaborative session to align our team around the narrative and ensure buy-in from key stakeholders.  This was probably the most helpful element to bring home the key aspects of the partnership.

This work has helped us align internally on our value proposition, position, and narrative. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The Woden engagement delivered measurable improvements in both internal alignment and external engagement:

• Improved message clarity and consistency across our sales, marketing, and customer success teams—creating a shared language and positioning that everyone now uses to communicate our value.
• Acceleration of our sales cycle through the adoption of targeted messaging, objection handling, and storytelling techniques from the StoryGuide—leading to more effective early-stage conversations and increased movement through the funnel.
• Increased engagement with marketing content—we saw higher response rates to outbound emails and stronger interest in collateral that clearly communicated the value of proactive, data-driven supervision.
• Stronger customer buy-in during onboarding as we adopted the StoryKernel’s language to reinforce our brand promise and build long-term advocacy.
• Enhanced brand recognition and recall among key decision-makers, with feedback indicating our message now “cuts through” in a crowded, compliance-focused market.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Woden demonstrated strong project management throughout the engagement. They provided a clear timeline at the outset and stayed on track, delivering key milestones—like the StoryKernel, StorySeminar, and StoryGuide—on or ahead of schedule.

They were responsive and adaptable to our needs, incorporating feedback quickly and providing thoughtful guidance whenever we had questions or wanted to dig deeper into specific aspects of the narrative. Their team showed a deep understanding of our space and often anticipated what we needed before we had to ask.

We appreciated their balance of structure and flexibility—keeping the project moving forward while creating space for rich discussion and collaboration.

What was your primary form of communication with Woden?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most was Woden’s ability to listen and understand the core of what we do—then help us express it in a way that actually connects.

They didn't just polish our language; they helped us build a real, clear, focused message. Their process pushed us to make important decisions about how we position ourselves that would not have happened without their influence.

The result wasn’t just a better story, it was one our whole team believes in and uses. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

Overall, it was a really positive experience, and the work gave us exactly what we needed to clarify and unify our message.

One area that could have added even more value, and this may be specific to how I prefer to work, would be a brief, guided next step plan at the end of the engagement. Just a few concrete actions tied back to the original opportunities they identified would’ve helped us move into implementation more confidently.

We’re getting that now through ongoing coaching, but having it as part of the intial delivery would’ve made the handoff even stronger.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We hired Woden to help us define our key differentiator, which we knew wasn't just our broad technical skills, and specialization in Apple-centric IT ecosystems. We knew it was the way we talked to our clients, approached the intersection of business, technology, and culture. But we're IT engineers; we're long winded, super technical, and not elegant with words.
The project scope included interviewing our staff, key clients, ket strategic partners, and our leadership team multiple times. They reviewed existing collateral, our website, previous unsuccessful and incomplete branding projects with other vendors, examples of client engagement documentation, proposals, and presentations, as well as performing market research on us, our industry, and our competitors.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

There were 3 phases to the project, each with its own set of deliverables; each building on the previous.

The first was our StoryKernel: a brief and powerful sentence to sum up our philosophical differentiator.

The second was our StorySeminar: mission, verbal identity, elevator pitch, positioning, and a narrative strategy from which we can build company culture, collateral, and marketing materials.

The third was out StoryGuide: a densely packed guide including buyer personas, tailored elevator pitches and messaging examples for each persona, brand promise, calls-to-action, and a short and sweet version of key points for everyone on the team that isn't involved in sales and marketing, but still needs to inculcate the salient points into every day culture.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

I've never worked with a vendor that did such an excellent job of driving the project from start to finish. They were just on it...from meeting scheduling to deliverables to follow up.

What was your primary form of communication with Woden?

Virtual Meeting

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Ed and Anya, with whom we dealt the most, showed us time and again that they really listened to our feedback and input, and truly heard us.

Even when they disagreed, or felt another direction was a stronger choice, they didn't blow us off, they heard us, re-framed what we said, and helped us understand their perspective at a deeper level. And, when we felt strongly about something, they took it to heart and always showed effort to truly understand the context and relevance of our comments, and to incorporate it into the work product.

This felt like a true collaboration at every turn.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

On a few occasions early in the process, I had to ask for more time to review the content, or slow down the delivery of the information in the meetings, simply because I needed to process a little more slowly. Each time they listened, and gave me the space and time I needed. And as the project moved forward, they clearly heard me because I stopped having to ask after the first few weeks, they just met my pace without me asking. That's really it.

Woden has played a key role in developing your brand’s strategic narrative through a collaborative process with our employees and clients. The team assigned to our project has helped evaluate which elements of our company should be highlighted, and how to structure the story of our company for maximum impact. I feel that their approach has been deeply collaborative, thoughtful, and invested in our success. Through this process they have been able to craft strategic marketing and branding deliverables tailored to both internal and external audiences, aligned with our company’s identity and values.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Woden has helped us develop a brand identity that goes far beyond just a logo. Through in-depth research, they identified what our company truly represents and organized insights gathered from both employees and clients. The information they collected and analyzed has provided us with a clearer understanding of how our clients view us, highlighting what we are doing well and where we need to improve. This insight has been extremely valuable to our discovery process, helping us refine our direction and better align with our audience's needs and expectations.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

No, they have been very thorough with our team and the process in which they have mapped out this project.

• They are true partners. They are personable, friendly, and genuinely focused on helping us succeed.

I can't think of a single thing. When we had questions or disagreements about a direction or item, we talked these through and came to better results any time we faced a potential issue.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Woden started by conducting research with our employees, customers, and partners to get a better handle of what we do and what defines us at Wilmac. They interviewed at least 10 employees, 2 customers, and 3 partners, and collected survey responses from a numer of customers. 

After this research, they assembled our Story Kernel, a 5-paragraph hero's journey story about the challenges our customers are facing and where we fit in the market. From there, we had a 5-hour Story Seminar session where we reviewed Wilmac's Brand Pillars - our vision, mission, core values, brand personality, and positioning. This was hosted on-site at our office and involved the entire leadership discussing these pillars. 

Finally, all of this information was put into a Story Guide, a 100+ page document that went into further detail and is meant to be a guideline for us moving forward. It included examples of messaging and targeting for different levels of the funnel and our core audiences. Now, we are working on the Story Accelerator, which is assistance with the application of this messaging.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The 3 main deliverables - Story Kernel, Story Seminar, and Story Guide. The key wins for Wilmac are generating pipeline with our new outbound messaging. That is still in progress.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Items were delivered on time and were dependent on Wilmac's responsiveness. The estimated timeline was approximately 3 months and we received those deliverables in that time. The Story Guide has taken the longest amount of time. Woden was very responsive and accommodating.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Woden could have done differently?

A little more clarity in what was expected and deliverables. The project timeline could've gone into more detail. Certain questions and asks came up that we weren't expecting, like information on the target audiences towards the end.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Not only did they deliver on time, but they did so in the face of periodic intransigence on our part (that is, we'd get busy and fall behind on reviewing deliverables, etc.). And they were available for the occasional emergency assistance, such as when we needed language for some marketing material in a hurry.

Since we started working with Woden, I've heard about a few other companies that approach marketing and branding as a matter of story telling. But it's still pretty rare, and we think it's a solid approach, one that made sense to us.

Occasionally, early drafts would fall into traps like using cliches or failing to connect the concepts we discussed with one another. But after a discussion or two the end product was always very strong.
