We help leading B2B businesses
achieve
Story-Market Fit

In the tech industry, we’re all familiar with ‘Product-Market Fit’: the point at which a product perfectly fits a large market’s needs, and success takes off. 

While essential, Product-Market Fit is not sufficient. To truly scale and drive continued growth, Story-Market Fit is the next big need.

About you

You need to stand out in a crowded marketplace

Story-Market Fit means ‘aha’ ideas that get attention. They come to life across channels, including keynotes, social, events and press.


You need to drive business outcomes

Story-Market Fit drives results: leads, sales, adoption, and revenue.


You need a story that works for everyone

Story-Market Fit works everywhere. Across your products. For your execs, marketers and sales teams. For your clients. And with all your stakeholders.

About us

Our Partners created Google’s approach to B2B storytelling over a decade. They founded Narrative Partners to help leading B2B businesses achieve Story-Market Fit quickly and efficiently.
