Standpoint
Storybuilding - Your Brand From Their* Standpoint
Standpoint is a Geneva-based storytelling and positioning practice founded by John Elbing. It builds brand stories from the customer's standpoint, not the company's own. Most brands describe themselves from the inside out: capabilities, processes, history. Customers decide on different grounds. They want to recognise their own situation, understand quickly what makes you different, and picture what working with you will be like. When a website, a pitch or an AI assistant's summary misses those three things, the business loses buyers it never hears from. The method, Storybuilding, is set out in John's bestselling book of the same name (2025). Storytelling is telling your story better; Storybuilding is building the right story to tell. Every engagement starts with a diagnosis of the story you tell today, including how AI assistants such as ChatGPT retell it, and ends with a story your team can carry on its own. John teaches business storytelling in higher education, including luxury brand narratives in CREA's Master in Global Luxury Brand Management, and coaches Executive MBA students at the University of Lausanne on their final projects. Standpoint works in English and French with companies, startups and professional firms.
