About Annie And Kristin of Decoded Strategies
Decoded Strategies

A Fresh Perspective

Hi, we’re Decoded Strategies. Coming from a background in tech, we know that there is nothing worse than a powerful company getting stuck in the weeds with their brand messaging. If you don’t have the right words, you can’t find the right customers. Then your hard-won customers churn.

As certified StoryBrand Guides, we’ve worked with hundreds of brands to create compelling brand messaging to deploy marketing and retention strategies that work.

Our clients often say, “this is the most common sense advice we’ve heard.” If you have a product that you think is great, but are struggling to find the right words to sell it… We’re here to help you transform techy language into clear, engaging words. I.e. normal person speak.

Why work with Decoded Strategies?

We’ve worked with some awesome clients who love us and our services. Check out what they have to say about us.

"You know you’ve identified a true partner when they blend into your organization seamlessly and add more value than you can put a price tag on. Decoded Strategies was able to take all our ideas and simplify them into cohesive, foundational messaging. I can put my finger on a 10x return on our investment in StoryBranding based efforts, and that number continues to grow month after month."
