Welcome to Narrative Media & Strategy, LLC
Designing systems that move organizations forward.
We ensure leaders, teams, and communications all move in the same direction.
Where Narrative Drives Strategy, Strategy Creates Alignment, and Alignment Sets Direction.
Rising costs, labor shortages, shifting policies, and unclear regulations are squeezing small businesses. Messages coming from Washington are often inconsistent and disconnected from the challenges business owners face every day.
When the message is inconsistent, things get lost in translation. When direction is muddled, and the way of doing business becomes fractured, operations suffer – and so does the bottom line.
Narrative Media & Strategy, LLC exists to help leaders align their brand, strategy, and operations so they have a true North Star. With clarity, confidence, and direction, companies move forward and thrive.
At the center of our work is a four-step framework that builds your business narrative, aligns your messaging and operations, and fuels the engine that drives executive, growth, and impact.
Our North Star Strategic Communications and Organizational System™ brings clarity and alignment to an organization’s narrative. It creates the foundation leaders need to communicate with purpose, make better decisions, and guide teams with confidence.
The system consists of a four-step process:
1. Discovery and Diagnostics
2. Narrative Design
3. Strategic Alignment
4. Activation
When your story is clear, and your organization is aligned, the path forward sharpens – communication improves, decisions strengthen, customer engagement deepens, and growth becomes intentional. The North Star System™ gives small businesses the clarity they need to navigate uncertainty, stand out in a crowded market, and move boldly into the future.

Narrative Media & Strategy, LLC is a strategic communications firm specializing in the design of systems, frameworks, and pathways that move organizations forward.
Our Narrative Architecture and Strategic Alignment solutions help leaders translate chaos into clarity, build trust through compelling storytelling, and align their organizations around a shared direction.
Narrative Architecture turns scattered messages into a unified ecosystem — one that moves people, shapes culture, and gives leaders a system they can lead through. Strategic Alignment ensures that strategy, culture, communication, and leadership all move in the same direction. We translate vision into a shared understanding and coordinated action across an organization. Together, they create the clarity, coherence, and momentum leaders need to move their organizations forward.
The North Star Strategic Communications System™ reimagines communications by turning complexity into clarity and strategy into action.
The system follows a structured, four‑step process:
1. A company assessment to understand the organization’s core identity
2. An operations overview to map how the organization truly functions
3. A leadership assessment to align vision with action
4. These insights flow into a tailored communications and organizational plan designed for each enterprise.
What makes the system truly unique is its business development engine—a “boots on the ground” approach that goes beyond planning. It delivers market activation and marketing execution, ensuring the narrative is not only designed but lived out in the marketplace.
