Our Why

Our passion for brand building comes from exploring what truly lasts — across industries, communities, and corners of the world. From small villages to bustling cities, our travels have shown us that the brands people love most aren’t built on fleeting trends. They’re built on connection, memory, and trust.

The name Stonesthrow reflects our belief in the ripple effect of community building. Like a stone dropped in water, thoughtful storytelling sends waves far beyond the first sale — shaping shores well beyond our own. We build sustainable reputations, spark dialogue, and foster relationships that stand the test of time.

Every brand has a story worth telling. Powerful brand strategy begins by uncovering your vision, your values, and what makes you unforgettable. The key is mapping that story across your customer journey, designing intentional narratives that invite people to belong. When you make them the main character, they share your story and carry your brand forward. Every intentional step leads to more loyal customers, stronger word-of-mouth, and growth that lasts. Because in a world saturated with media, a brand rooted in loyalty is your strongest asset.

Our story is told through the brands we serve, the individuals we champion, and the ideas we bring to life. Every project adds a new chapter, echoing the journeys that inspired us to create Stonesthrow House and strengthening our belief in purpose-driven growth.

We believe in the value of building meaningful relationships founded on kindness and integrity. We are committed to amplifying diverse voices and fostering a culture where everyone feels respected and valued.

She onboarded and managed over 120 ambassadors and influencers, many of whom brought in direct referral revenue for the company. Chloé does not shy away from new projects, changes, or hard work. Her creativity, dedication, innovation, and collaborative spirit make her an invaluable asset."
