A former future astronaut turned writer.
The Startup Storytellers is founded by Alex Furrer, a former advertising Chief Creative Officer with over twenty years pitching and telling brand stories at top agencies (Ogilvy, TAXI, McCann, Sid Lee), a former journalist trained to dig for the details that matters, a writer well-versed on various tones and styles, and a mom raising teens who keep her communication and social media skills sharp. A storyteller at heart, who did want to be an astronaut but ended up writing a novel about travelling space cat instead.
Purposefully small. Purposefully fast.
The Startup Storytellers was set up for at startup speed. Alex is the lead, but depending on the ask, a small team gets assembled with the right talent, at the right price.
Our 30-second elevator pitch.
Based on the average global length of an elevator ride, a proper elevator pitch shouldn’t be longer than 30 seconds.
SETTING THE SCENE: Picture yourself stepping into an elevator, distracted, perhaps by a sales conundrum or an upcoming board meeting. As you select your floor and shift your weight onto the shiny steel wall, you realize that you’re sharing the ride with a woman wearing a pair of phenomenal eyeglasses. You both smile. Then she calmly and confidently, with a hint of mischief, introduces herself and her business.
