Cultural Bedrock
Strategic Story & Organizational Infrastructure
From Operational Noise to Cultural Resonance
A strategic, high-touch partnership for mission-driven leaders & organizations. We replace the "Scale vs. Soul" paradox with a robust foundation of deep consultation, cinematic media, education, and knowledge management infrastructure.
Scale or Fail
When organizations scale, intimacy is often traded for efficiency, leading to Cultural Dilution. Cultural Bedrock is an enriched, year-long strategic engine designed for leaders who need more than a video—they need a "Media Production Bible" and a narrative operating system that protects the essence of their organization as it grows. This is the most comprehensive way to access Benjamin’s expertise in building educational initiatives that move the needle on operational efficiency and profitability.
"Hollow Brand" Chasm
We replace generic taglines with a Story Roadmap—a 3–5 page living reference that keeps every department aligned on the "why."
A Strategic Anchor, Not a Project
We solve the foundational rifts
of high-growth organizations:
The Cost
of Silence
We mitigate the "Turnover Trigger" by building internal communication assets that act as Narrative Anchors, grounding your team in resilience and trust.
Decision
Fatigue
We eliminate the need for leadership to police "corporate-speak" by establishing a Unified Narrative Voice that simplifies every future communication.
Translation
Gap
We unearth "the work beneath the work," allowing high-alignment talent to see the humanity and craft behind your organization.
What’s Included:
The Foundations
This is our flagship partnership, functioning as your external "Story & Ops" lead to replace fragmented agencies and hollow tools with a centralized, narrative-led ecosystem.
We fuse Benjamin’s expertise in high-stakes corporate facilitation—refined at Tesla and Apple—with cinematic documentary execution to build a culture that scales.
-
Ongoing advisory to align your mission and values with the operational realities of a scaling team.
-
A foundational full-day workshop to synthesize your past, present, and possible futures into a cohesive "Story Spine."
-
A flagship "Impact Story Film" (5–8 min) and a series of "Employer Brand" short docs to humanize your leadership and mission.
-
An elevated e-learning series or "Creative Leadership" workshops to equip your managers with story-awareness and narrative tools.
-
A centralized hub (CRM, SOPs, and assets) that gives your team operational autonomy while maintaining deep, grounded authenticity.
Excavation & Discovery
We start with a 30–60 minute session to surface the stakes and constraints. We then move into the Story & Culture Intensive to uncover the "work beneath the work" and set our shared intent.
How We Build It Together
Narrative
Design
We map a year’s worth of production and facilitation to purposefully map to your organization’s growth goals. This gives us a solid narrative arc that will be built upon for years to come.
Production &
Facilitation
We execute your films and e-learning series with a co-creative. Simultaneously, we run Creative Leadership modules to ensure your managers can steward the story.
Activation &
Stewardship
We roll out the assets through a structured kickoff and transition them into your permanent Media Production Bible, ensuring the work lives on as a cultural insurance policy.
Who This Is For
This offering is specifically designed for leadership teams navigating the "Scaling Paradox." We work with organizations in three critical windows:
The Scaling Phase
You are growing at a pace where your original mission is dissolving into "corporate-speak" and you need a narrative anchor to keep the team unified.
Rebrand or Reorg
You are shifting your identity or internal model and need a "Living Reference" to ensure the new direction feels grounded, not forced.
Cultural Shift
You are moving away from "The Cost of Silence" toward a high-trust, human-centric model that attracts and keeps high-alignment talent.
We work with a small number of mission-driven organizations each year who:
Prioritize authenticity over polish and natural language over jargon.
See high-quality media as cultural insurance for your organization.
Want a high-touch, strategic partner rather than a "set-it-and-forget-it" agency.
Investment & Next Steps
Cultural Bedrock is a custom, all-inclusive engagement.
We work with a small number of partners each year to ensure the depth and impact this level of craft requires.
Investment Range: $50,000 – $75,000+
(Custom project fee; no hourly billing or surprise scope creep)
