Making Meaning, Driving Growth

Meaningful Brands Make Meaning

Throughline is the brainchild of brand developer Nicholas Sammer and lawyer-writer Seth Haines, who preach a simple truth: meaningful brands make meaning. Our clients are tired of the meaningless, fungible messages of the moment, and together, we create timeless messages that make meaning, create connection, and drive growth.

Our Cliets

Our clients understand that great messaging makes meaning, meaning creates connection, and connection drives growth. We’re honored to work with thoughtful brands across industries.

Making Meaning Requires A Different Approach

  • Grounded In Identity Story

    We begin by defining and narrating your identity story—what makes you tick. This identity story become the starting place for your throughline, the narrative thread that informs your meaning, messaging, and strategy.

  • Strategically Engaged Across Your Business

    Authentic brands have a meaningful throughline that runs through every facet of their business. We help our clients align their brand messaging, products, strategy, and internal communications with that throughline.

  • Built for Deep Work

    Solving the most difficult challenges requires highly-dedicated time and uninterrupted focus. We take on a limited number of clients so that you always get the deep work, clear thinking, and the best work.
