Comms Strategy Tools
for Agencies that Pitch

Turn a client brief into
a narrative you can hold.

Comms Threader takes you from the client’s challenge to the narrative platform one decision at a time, and makes you commit before you move on. Then it checks the whole narrative before you pitch.

Most strategy tools leave you with a list. Comms Threader gives you directions you can compare, then makes you choose.

AI-assisted. Human-led. Grounded in live market intelligence, not last year’s training data.

Five decisions. One narrative.

  1. Challenge

    The Story

    Find the real comms challenge

  2. Tension

    The Audience

    Find the tension your stakeholders feel

  3. Message

    The Message

    Decide what you can credibly say

  4. Direction

    The Plan

    Pull the strategy into a one-page comms brief

  5. Platform

    The Frame

    Find the organising thought

Ten tools: one for each decision, plus Channel, Landscape, Proof, Prototyper and Estimator. See them all →

Explore widely. Commit once.

A good strategy is chosen, not stumbled on. Look at the ground first, then lock the decision that holds.

Free Roam

Explore

Open any tool on its own. Scan the landscape, test narrative territories, decode a rival’s campaign. Every output is grounded in current market context, so you compare real directions instead of scrolling through ideas.

Best for: the start of a project, new-business scouting, finding the direction hidden in your research.

Pitch Mode

Commit

Run the cascade from the real problem to the strategic platform. Each decision locks before the next one opens, and the two checks hold the finished work to it.

Best for: the pitch itself, and any strategy that has to survive the room.

Found something worth keeping? Send to Pitch carries a Free Roam result straight into the cascade, so exploring is never wasted.

Free Roam is on every plan. Pitch Mode runs through the Story, Audience, Message and Plan, which come with Pro, as do the two checks.

See the objections
before the client does.

Your finished narrative, scored before the deck is built.

Pitch Readiness Check · Boeing 69 Presentation readiness
What the check flagged
Brief alignment

A licence-to-operate reframe, not a reputation fix. The right call, but the brief asked how to rebuild public trust; the room will want that shift justified first.

Client will ask With the same aircraft still flying, what proof of change can Boeing show today?
Client will ask Won’t transparency as a strategy surface every future failure in public? The one that challenges the whole platform.

An illustrative example based on the Boeing case study.

Catch the drift
before the client does.

Assess the creative work against the narrative.

Drift Check · Boeing 62 Overall alignment
What the check caught
Organising thought · divergent The people who build them are the reason to believe.

The pitch locked “Boeing earns trust through demonstrated process, not declared intention”. A different core claim entirely.

Exclusions · partial

The work adds exclusions the pitch never listed: polished scripts, manifestos, apologies, defensiveness, and references to past failures.

Strategic recommendation

Pull the work back to the line. The organising thought has shifted from demonstrated process to human testimony, and the internal-first sequencing that makes the strategy credible has been quietly dropped.

Caught before the room, not in it.

An illustrative example based on the Boeing case study. The Readiness Check finds the objections. The Drift Check finds the drift. Lock it checked. Keep it checked.

Ten tools. Two checks.

From brief to client-ready comms plan. In hours, not weeks.
