our backstory

Established 2001 as a marketing consulting practice, that also wove together a vast network of talent to implement the marketing plans. From the onset, our goal was to be a frugal partner, which defined our flexible, hybrid organization. We are process driven, using tools developed in-house, to keep diverse and geographically independent talent synchronized.

our advantages Process Driven Our Optrian Marketing Method and Passport Process enable repeatable, consistent deliverables Flexible One size doesn’t fit all so we use a talent network to assemble a team for each client or project.

Frugal Assigned resources match client needs – there’s no overhead for unused resources. Global We use global resources to culturally adapt deliverables.

tells marketing stories.

Effective marketing is about mastering the art of storytelling. The brands that win are the brands that tell a great story. Tell a good enough story about your brand and people will want to connect – they become invested in you instead of tuning you out. People think in stories, not statistics. Marketing is the art of telling a story that moves people to act.

what do our peers have to say about storytelling?

Our approach to marketing storytelling is universal, and addresses three premise.

The Optrian Marketing Method

People buy. And we buy products and services we need or want.

People buy from people (not businesses) that they perceive to be like them.

People buy on emotion. And the higher the emotion, the sooner they buy.

The Optrian Marketing Method

Logical Gate Similarity Gate Emotional Gate

Each premise is resolved by a “buy/don’t buy” decision gate, and a buyer must decide to buy at all three gates before buying.

What are the product or service features?

How am I similar to the seller?

Why am I buying this now?

The Optrian Marketing Method Typical marketing emphasizes the first gate – the features of the product

or service – in order to convince a customer to buy.

The Optrian Marketing Method In contrast, we address all three with an emphasis on the similarity with the customer

to make the connection, establish loyalty and prompt the decision to buy.

Similarity emphasis drives a deep understanding of your customer.

Your story, and how we express it, is shaped to resonate with your customer.

Messaging, images, videos, websites, presentations – everything we do for you – moves your customer through the three decision gates to reach a decision to buy.

The methodology is universal and works with marketing storytelling regardless of product, service, country, or market segment.
