OTM Joins Elite Ranks of StoryBrand Certified Agencies Across the Nation

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, businesses constantly seek innovative ways to break through the noise and connect with customers.

OTM is proud to announce it has earned the StoryBrand Certified Agency designation. This designation places OTM in an elite group of StoryBrand Certified Agencies, one of only two in the state of Colorado and among 32 nationwide.

“I have been a StoryBrand Certified Guide since December 2019, and this year we opted to take the leap and get our entire team certified,” Kerrie Luginbill, Chief Strategy Officer and Partner stated, “This certification reaffirms our commitment to providing our clients with effective storytelling solutions as well as our commitment to the continual growth and development of our team of marketing specialists.”

The agency certification process includes an intensive 2-day workshop with a StoryBrand trainer to master the 7-part framework and how to leverage it in storytelling activities. StoryBrand, the brainchild of renowned author Donald Miller, made popular by his book, “Building a StoryBrand: Clarify Your Message So Customers Will Listen” has revolutionized brand messaging by adopting a customer-centric approach that diverges from conventional brand-centric storytelling. This approach allows agencies to empathize with a customer’s journey and goals, equipping teams to create marketing strategies that truly connect.

Branding Your Business for Growth

Through the OTM Brand for Growth Process™, we partner with you to marry your market positioning with branding elements in order to create a visual representation of who you are as a business, and how you wish to be perceived by the world through colors, shapes, words, patterns, and more.

At its core, branding is about representing your unique identity in a way that communicates value and establishes bonds with your audience. At OTM, we love to build brands with meaning. We don’t just slap together a logo and call it good, in fact, we constantly harp on the fact that your brand is much bigger than a logo!

Your brand is the sum of all parts: it’s your story, it’s how you package your product, the colors that you use, the photos that you choose, and the emotions that you, your product or your service evoke from people – and why.

OTM has been a wonderful marketing partner for the last four years. We have shifted marketing plans over time and they are very open and explained all the details as we moved forward with new plans. They have done everything from help design and update offices, managed social media, planning marketing events, and many more things. The Hear for Holidays Event that we do each year is one of my favorite events that we work on together. Rachel and the whole OTM team have brought my marketing vision to life and I love everything they have done for my business. I look forward to what the future holds as we continue to work together.

I worked with Old Town Media (OTM) on a quick grant project that had a 6-week timeline. They were very thoughtful about whether they could meet the grant expectations and needs before accepting the work. The team at OTM then completed extensive research and facilitated focus groups to ensure the product they created met the needs of the end-users. They met all of the grant deadlines and far exceeded our expectations of the portal they created for us! I would not hesitate to use their services again and highly recommend them to others looking for a professional, high quality, and FUN team to work with.

OTM is a locally owned firm that I have worked with for over 13 years. They are an amazing team of people who know and understand current marketing technology and strategies. My husband and I are starting a new business and they have helped us out even with small details to get our business going.

I have seen a significant increase in community engagement which has helped bolster our brand presence, exceeding the expectations of the entire team. Carrie and her team provides consistent communication through slack and emails which has led to an effective and trusted partnership. Truly appreciate how hard-working, agile, and driven everyone on the team is. Thanks again for eveything your team has done for our company.

OTM has done a fantastic job bringing the Fort Collins Peach Festival back to the public! OTM is dealing with several volunteers on a committee and keeping everyone informed, best in business advice and a platform that will serve us for years. We didn't know what we needed and were presented with choices and educated about each before implementation. Kerrie and Brianna have done great work for us!

Using their Path to Growth Model, OTM not only gave me a path forward, but they helped me clarify my strategy, direction, and actions for how to set and launch my business. I was able to launch quickly and I see the flywheel ahead that is necessary to accelerate customer intake and revenue building. Thrilled with the outcome!!!

As the Head of Marketing at Encompass Technologies, I considered Old Town Media an extension of our marketing team. OTM worked closely with us on rebranding and repositioning, multiple industry-first product launches, key industry events, and integrated demand generation campaigns while we grew our marketing team and acquired new companies. With the help of OTM, we grew our pipeline and bested industry benchmarks for Software as a Service (SaaS) sales and marketing efficiency metrics. We came to rely on OTM for tactical execution to augment our team but where they added the most value was in our rebranding strategy and market positioning efforts. OTM played an integral role in conducting research and deeply understanding our market dynamics, ideal customer profile, customer challenges, competitive landscape, products and innovation, key differentiators, vision, and mission. This was no easy feat with a highly complex ecosystem, multiple segments, wide variety of audiences, and a broad array of products. Armed with market insights, OTM helped us develop a compelling brand, an inspirational story reflecting our vision and strategy, a unique and defensible market position, and messaging that was relevant to our target audiences. I appreciated that the team was respectful and empathetic, intently curious, insightful with their observations and recommendations, and candid with their feedback. OTM set realistic expectations about deliverables/scope, level of effort, roles, timeline, and cost. The team was responsive, highly collaborative, and open to suggestions. OTM plugged our expertise and resource gaps which allowed us to break the compromise between doing good work and doing it quickly. On top of that, they were fun to work with. OTM was truly a partner of the business.
