Results and Growth

We’ll say it and say it and say it again: We believe emotionally-resonant brand content strategy is the only way to grow. It’s what we call: Movere!

Movere is all about identifying that win-win spot where your brand’s value propositions, and your audience’s interests, align. 

Then, we address those shared interests via compelling copy—well-chosen words that paint a picture—creating a virtual experience of your product or service for your customer. In turn, evoking powerful emotions and feelings, moving them to take immediate action. 

Bottom line for you? 

More engagement, conversions, sales, and
raving fans.

A Forrester study found that ‘feelings’ influence 
a customer’s buying decision and loyalty 1.5x times 
more than any other factor studied

Word-nerdery afoot

What’s Movere?
Movere is the Latin verb ‘to move’, and it’s the root of the English words ‘emotion’, ‘motivation’, and a bunch of other words.

Say it out loud:
Movere is pronounced ‘mo-VERR-ay’.
For fun, make it an exclamation. Movere!

Why Latin?
Because we’re polyglots, Latin is foundational—the root of many English words—and we love going back to it for ideas and inspiration.
