Clear Speak, Big Wins.
Our thinking is shaped by narratives and their meaning.
Confusing narratives = “what the hell does this mean?!” 🤷♀️
Clear narratives = “aaaaaaaah… now I get it!” 💡
Narratives?
In business, narratives are the sum of all corporate messaging.
Vision and mission? Part of the narrative.
Customer pain points? Part of the narrative.
Product features and product names. You guessed it… Part of the narrative.
… the list goes on.
Narratives have a strong impact on success, yet, corporate speak is ruining the show.

Welcome to Clear and Consistent 🎊
Now that you had a taste of the problem, let me introduce you to Clear and Consistent - a publication exploring how tech companies can unshackle free themselves from their communication hodgepodge disaster.
The objective: Narrative Clarity for Tech Companies 🎯
Let’s look at a best-in-class example: Stripe 💳
The high-level items (vision, purpose, promise, etc.) are aligned with low-level items (product names).
Everything is clear and consistent. This is what Narrative Clarity looks like in the wild.
Who Are You and What Is This?
Hi, my name is Art 👋
I served 10+ years building tech companies between Silicon Valley and Europe. Through my most recent company, I experienced the full rollercoaster ride from idea to exit.
Being a non-engineer with an advertising degree, my responsibilities included words. Lots of them.
The main insight: Clear and consistent communication wins.
Clear: Communicate it. Use the language of your audience.
Consistent: Communicate it. Over and over again.
Over the years, I consulted tech companies - from scale-ups to publicly-listed giants - on how to unlock Narrative Clarity.
Currently, I focus on helping climate tech companies but the underlying principles apply across all technology verticals.
I’m excited to start sharing these insights in public.
