ADVISORY

Own YOUR story

 

Obstacle Advisory helps organisations deepen their success through storytelling. We work closely with leaders and leadership teams who need help writing what company storytelling should really be and how it could be brought to life. We work with organisations who are navigating:

Perception management

Shifts in positioning

Internal alignment issues

Leadership communication

Culture and team clarity

Reputational tensions

Sensitive transitions

Deepen Success

 

Obstacle Advisory combines creativity, strategy and practical planning. Our approach is designed to help leadership teams make better decisions, avoid wasted resources and create storytelling that deepens business success.

We are a senior team who work closely with you to clarify a founder or leadership story, reframe a brand narrative, deepen your creative development or creative direction for a brief or campaign.

 

​​

Clear outcomes

 

You move from uncertainty to direction. From disconnected content to a coherent storytelling. From vague ambitions to a practical plan for film, content and distribution. Imagine a constant state of:

  • Clear understanding of the business, brand or communication challenges

  • Sharp storytelling that connects brand, culture and commercial direction

  • Messaging hierarchy that helps teams speak with more consistency and confidence

  • Creative direction that guides film campaigns and social content

  • Roadmaps for what to make next and what to prioritise​​​​

ADVISORY WORKSHOPS

ONE DAY.
One important question.
One clear way forward.

High-impact, senior-led working sessions for teams that need expert direction before committing more time, money or creative resource.

 

Bring us the question, challenge or opportunity that is slowing you down.

 

In six focussed hours, we will challenge the thinking, bring structure to the conversation and help your team agree its next move.

 

These are deliberately focused interventions. They are not drawn-out strategy projects.

EVERY WORKSHOP INCLUDES

A 20-minute orientation call

Review of up to three relevant documents

One tailored three-hour workshop with relevant senior Obstacle team

Up to six participants

A one-page Direction Note within 48 hours

Clear recommendations and immediate next steps

more information

These workshops are designed to create clarity, momentum and a better next decision. They use the evidence already available and focus on one defined question.

They do not include primary research, detailed strategy development, financial modelling, creative concepts, extensive documentation or implementation. If deeper work is required, Obstacle Studios will explain why, recommend an appropriate next step and provide a separate scope.

There is no obligation to continue. You can take the Direction Note and act on it independently. Alternatively, you can ask Obstacle Studios to help take the next step.
