Strategic direction, refined brand messaging and strong marketing planning
“Working with Clare was straightforward and genuinely valuable. She took the time to understand our business, our goals, and the realities of working with a small, busy team. She helped us clarify our priorities, sharpen our messaging, and leave with a practical, realistic marketing roadmap for the year that a team of our size can genuinely deliver on. The sessions were focused, collaborative, and left us feeling clear on what to do next rather than overwhelmed with theory. We’re delighted with the outcome and fully expect to continue working together in the future.”
12 month marketing plan along with key activations and budget
“Orr Irish Apple Brandy is entering a relatively unknown drinks category in Ireland. We needed a ‘fool-proof’ marketing plan for 12 months, covering all marketing aspects, particularly highlighting must-dos. We are a small team with a number of products, so with limited budget and time, we needed a very focused marketing plan. Clare is great to work with. Her professionalism and enthusiasm is excellent, along with her industry knowledge and understanding, and as a result her clear and easy to follow marketing plan is our now go-to for Orr.”

Marketing direction and brand planning guidance

High-performance global marketing strategy

PR outreach and brand & digital marketing strategy
"Working with StoryBev Marketing was a really positive experience. Clare brought a strong mix of strategic thinking, practical execution, and industry experience throughout the project. The engagement was the right length to give us real clarity and direction, while also allowing us the space to go away and start executing on the plan. One of the biggest benefits was helping us get to the heart of the brand — its sense of fun, adventure, and distinct personality — and translate that into a much clearer look and feel, which is now evident on our website. Clare also did an excellent job managing the website redevelopment process and coordinating with the agency, which was especially valuable given her prior experience working with them. Overall, she gave us a clear roadmap and a stronger foundation to build from.
