Narrative strategy, communication and storytelling challenges for organisations that need clarity, alignment and action now!
We use narrative strategy, strategic messaging, and gamified storytelling challenges to uncover the real stories shaping your organisation. This approach helps you respond with more clarity, connection, and confidence.
Build your stories into narratives that solve the problems of now to change your tomorrow.
Story is strategy
When organisations struggle to communicate clearly, gain buy-in, lead change or bring people with them, the issue is often not just messaging. It is narrative.
At Spendlove and Lamb, we help organisations understand the stories already shaping behaviour, culture and decision-making. Then we turn those insights into practical narrative strategies, stronger messaging and engagement tools that help solve real problems now.
Our core services
Narrative Strategy We help organisations make sense of the stories influencing their teams, stakeholders and communities. By identifying the narrative patterns already at play, we create strategic frameworks that support clearer communication, stronger alignment and more effective action.
Our storytelling challenges are structured engagement experiences designed to gather real insight from people in a way that feels human, creative and useful. Through short prompts, reflections, images or video responses, organisations can uncover key themes, identify barriers, understand sentiment and reveal the larger narrative shaping a team, project or community.
Strategic Messaging We turn complexity into clear, compelling language. Whether you are launching an initiative, leading organisational change, building internal culture or engaging external stakeholders, we help you develop messages that people understand, trust and remember.
Workshops Our workshops and training programs help organisations understand the stories influencing behaviour, decision-making and engagement in the present. Combining expert facilitation, narrative strategy and structured storytelling processes, we equip teams with practical skills, surface meaningful insight and create the clarity needed for stronger communication and action.
Strategic narrative helps you respond to what is happening now
The challenges facing organisations and communities are immediate. Change fatigue. Disconnection. Misalignment. Confused messaging. Low engagement. Resistance to new ideas.
Strategic narrative helps you understand what people believe, what stories are blocking progress, and what new narrative needs to be built to move people forward.
Storytelling is a strategic tool for solving real problems in real time.

Testimonials
- Megan brings an energy and overt love for her work to her workshops, which creates a level of learning and enjoyment rarely seen. I was a participant in one of her workshops and got so much out of it that I engaged her for our team.
Cam Birrell, WorkSafe Victoria
- What’s been nice about this whole journey is how naturally Megan pulled out the core aspects of who I am. I can articulate my personality without sounding like everybody else. In the past, I’d struggled with replicating other aesthetics. But this is my personality.
Stacy ‘Murph’ Murphy, Strategic Experiences Designer
- “I appreciated the thinking space the process with Megan created for me. Her process and prompts helped me to clarify my work in a way I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own. I valued the time to ‘think out loud’ and be pushed to think more deeply about what was coming up. It offered a lot of value, not only for the content we created together but overall how I position my work.”
Seanna Davidson, the systems school
- “Especially when encountering resistance to something, you can counteract that alongside the usual community engagement to get people on board with the change. If you want to shape the outcome, you have a better chance of doing that through the story.”
Gillian Saxon, Change and Engagement Lead, Victorian Public Sector Commission
- “Storytelling in programs I worked on in the past was always an afterthought. Megan has helped me understand the importance of building the right narrative and scenario to fit the vision of my product. I was very impressed with how she facilitated workshops with my project team and found her methods of gathering insights and turning them into scenarios engaging and thoughtful.”
Arnold Florendo, Digital Product Manager, Movember
