How we’ve helped businesses grow and accomplish their goals.
Clarified Big Picture Strategy for a Cable TV Channel
UPtv
To help clarify their path in the competitive space of family cable programming, we worked with UPtv to refine the Big Picture thinking around their Purpose, Vision, Mission, and Values.
With that in place we dug into their Target Customers to help uncover new ideas around who UP competes against for their customers’ time, and what those customers value on a functional, emotional, and aspirational level. This information helped to inform thinking around UP’s approach to messaging and programming for their core demo.

"We needed a new strategy and were immediately blown away by the level of research and insight Map & Fire brought to the table. They are incredibly thorough and skilled in the space at a level I haven’t found at the smallest or largest agencies out there. They are now my go to shop."

The Michelson 20MM Foundation
We worked with the Michelson 20MM Foundation to create a cohesive strategy and brand architecture that helped to structure, distill, and connect all the extensions of their transformative work in higher ed.
We've since built on that direction to help 20MM effectively market and communicate with their target customers increasing their number of monthly average users for the main foundation site by 150%.

Improved Engagement with a Cable Channel's Programming, Website & Video Content
Aspire TV
We worked with Aspire on a comprehensive look at their strategy to help facilitate a transition from a broad range of programming into a small group of focused, lifestyle centric categories. The goal being to serve their audience more of the video content they're interested in.
Through our work we honed in on how Aspire could provide programming that would serve a unique and valuable role in the lives of their customers. That thinking is now helping to guide them as they evolve their programming lineup and share it with their audience.

Established a Personal Brand for an Emmy-Winning Writer
Jay Martel
As an accomplished writer, director, actor, and showrunner for more than two decades, Jay’s biggest challenge was consolidating and focusing all of his success into a cohesive story. And one that would best connect him with more of the work he wants to do.
Through the process of helping Jay get clear on his messaging, we also worked through ideas of purpose and vision. The end result was improved clarity around priorities for his personal life and career.
Client Feedback
"Map & Fire has a great (and rare) ability to understand their client's needs, even if those needs aren't readily apparent to the client. I've never encountered such an impressive combination of strategic thinking and human empathy."
