Brand stories are basically claims about the past. Customers can check these claims. The useful version of a story usually includes the whole, unvarnished truth. There was a failed attempt. Someone got the story explained to them by a bank.
We retain what is specific and keep it all to interview you. Once we have that, we’re confident enough to write something that we assume your team will recognize as real when they read it. What we cannot verify comes back to us with flags in the margin.
The story always starts with someone telling us about something that the marketing folks skipped over, something boring yet important like how a complaint changed the product or how we did something the long, hard way for a year. These little details are what makes a brand story unique, and they come to light after following a series of ask and answer questions.
Most brand stories begin with something drawn on a napkin in a garage caused by an irritation. However, it is worse to construct company achievements that do not exist, which leads to a made-up founding date on your website under your name, which can be verified by anyone.
Before writing the new version, the interviewer will read along with the early drafts and previously published articles so that the new version won’t contradict any of the previously published material. This draft begins with a moment of crisis rather than a mission statement, and every factual claim has been reviewed and noted by someone on the team.
Review is a mix of editorial and fact checking. The editor deletes sentences that apply to all/most companies, checks the sequence against what you’ve published elsewhere, and shows anything that requires the founder or legal sign off. You confirm all of the facts before anything is published to your site.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical brand story | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| About-page story | 600 | $60 | $0.60 | $60.60 |
| Founder story feature | 1,500 | $150 | $1.50 | $151.50 |
| Full brand narrative kit | 3,500 | $350 | $3.50 | $353.50 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
We match the brief to a writer who has already worked in that subject area. If you have worked with an Articled writer before and want them again, name them and we will check their availability first.
Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
It usually isn’t. You just get used to it. The interesting part is normally one decision that felt obvious at the time. If there really isn’t a story yet, we will let you know and recommend writing about the problem instead of the founding.
We provide you with every factual claim in your submission. This is so your team and, if appointed, your reviewer, can confirm each claim when we publish. We do not take the liberty to publish anything on our own accord, nor do we create milestones to fill gaps.

I described my vision of a happy ending. Now, I have their version in return which is quieter and more sad. They included an explanation, a reasoning behind their choice, and a way for me to have it my way by writing a different (happy ending) version if I prefer. I kept their original.
I couldn’t write it myself and had to ask for help two days before. It came the next morning looking plain and quiet with none of the words I was dreading. My aunt asked who wrote it and I said.
At a natural pace, the speech was about ninety seconds over the twelve minute mark. Editing it was simple because your structure was clear, but I shouldn’t have to. Our director called the content of your speech the best written thing that she has ever delivered.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
