mission
We are on the mission to help our clients grow their business with content marketing
There is a lot of noise and information out there. The best way to stand out is to create valuable, relevant content that is delivered to the right people at the right time. Quality content drives businesses towards trust and helps them become a thought leader in their niche.
vision and core values
At StoryChief we believe that quality content and sharing valuable knowledge can change the world for the better.
To help shape the product to our values, at StoryChief, we follow these key principles:
Trust and honesty
It can only work when the whole team is working together as a family in a healthy environment. Not a toxic environment.
Respect
Respect each other's values, don't put yourself above someone else. Everyone in the team has achieved a lot already.
Professionalism
Hard skills are very important. Constant self-improvement, self-criticism and acquiring new skills is necessary to stay in the loop.
Quality over quantity
Be at your best for each task/project or don't do it at all. Release every project only when it is ready and tested.
Helping each other
Everyone is valuable. It's the whole team that brings the product to the next level. Not a small group within a team, nor an individual.
Humbleness
Like to brag about your new car, golden watch, and slick suit? Then you are at the wrong place.
VALUE PROPOSITIONS
Raw Value Propositions
Each time you create something or talk to someone think about the value propositions and think to yourself if your task/objective/project fits in that framework

TYPOGRAPHY
Helvetica Neue
Used on websites for titles and short descriptions in combination with visuals.
From April 2007 to March 2008, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City displayed an exhibit called "50 Years of Helvetica"
Helvetica or Neue Haas Grotesk is a widely used sans-serif typeface developed in 1957 by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger with input from Eduard Hoffmann.
Helvetica is a neo-grotesque design, one influenced by the famous 19th century typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk and other German and Swiss designs. Its use became a hallmark of the International Typographic Style that emerged from the work of Swiss designers in the 1950s and '60s, becoming one of the most popular typefaces of the 20th century. Over the years, a wide range of variants have been released in different weights, widths, and sizes, as well as matching designs for a range of non-Latin alphabets. Notable features of Helvetica as originally designed include a high x-height, the termination of strokes on horizontal or vertical lines and an unusually tight spacing between letters, which combine to give it a dense, solid appearance.
