About

The Founding Story
We were founded to make brands relevant and relatable
Businesses invest greatly in their product or service. They build their brand on frameworks and best practices - it makes perfect logical sense.
And it is precisely this inward focus that makes them struggle. Because having a great product is one thing, getting people to buy it is another.
People are interested not in the brand as much as what it can do for them. So they act on emotional drivers and justify it with logic.
At Storious we tap into the customers mind to build your brand story - one that will make people feel, think and act.
We are Insight Seekers. We are Story Builders.
We bring insight & imagination to help brands create impact
We find the answers in the data. But not the data that is found in charts or graphs.
Rather the data that is beneath the surface - the lived reality of the customer. That which is understood only by connecting and asking the right questions. That which is unsaid, but felt and observed.
We go beyond what people say - by looking at what they do, sensing how they feel, by digging out the quiet tensions. We use this to inspire and spark story ideas.

About the Founder
Murtaza Pacha
After working for close to 2 decades on customer insights for multi-nationals and large companies, Murtaza found that the real gap lies in start-ups and mid-sized businesses.
The kind of businesses that have a great product but lack the human insight to tell a story to match.
Hence, he set out to help these brands think in the language of the user. To help them tell better stories and build more human brands.
