Intelligence Briefs  ·  Built for the Individual

Cold outreach is dead.
The brief is alive.

LORE doesn't send pitches. It builds cinematic intelligence briefs tailored not to an industry, not to a persona, but to a single human being. The first conversation you have is already the right one.

01  ·  About

Built because
mass messaging
stopped working.

LORE was born from a simple frustration: the people worth reaching, the real decision-makers and stakeholders who actually move things, are drowning in generic blasts. Inboxes are broken. DMs are noise. Cold emails are deleted before the second sentence. The tools that used to work have been so abused that your prospects have tuned them out completely.


The stakeholders you actually want a relationship with can smell a template from the subject line. They've seen every variation of the "I noticed your company does X" opener. They've deleted thousands of them. They stopped reading a long time ago — and they're not coming back for another generic message about synergy.

"Knowing someone's industry tells you almost nothing about them. Knowing their role, their trajectory, their stated priorities, and the specific problems they were hired to solve: that's where the real conversation begins."

So we built LORE: a process that fuses two stories together. The story of the prospect: their trajectory, their accomplishments, the authority they've built, the gaps only visible from the outside. And the story of the sender, the service provider, the job seeker, the collaborator, and exactly how those two narratives intersect.


The output isn't a cold pitch. It's an intelligence brief. A cinematic, visually crafted document that arrives as a conversation starter — not a sales email, not a resume drop. Something they've never received before.

Industry context matters — but only as a lens for understanding what the individual actually cares about. LORE uses industry as backdrop, not as the story. The real work is understanding the person: their role, what they're responsible for, the decisions they own, the things they've chosen to say publicly about their work and where it's going.


That's what makes the brief land differently. The recipient doesn't feel researched. They feel understood. And that's the only place a real conversation can start.

02  ·  Why LORE

Not a template.
Not a blast.
A brief.

Every LORE brief is a single artifact, built for one person, one purpose, one moment. Here's what makes it different from anything else in your outreach stack.

01

Individual-Level Intelligence

Industry context is the starting point, not the strategy. We research people — their specific role and decision-making authority, their career arc, the publicly shared priorities that tell you what they're actually focused on right now. Industry shapes the backdrop. The individual shapes everything else. This kind of research takes hours — and it shows.

02

The Merging of Two Stories

LORE finds the precise intersection between the prospect's world and the sender's capabilities. Not a feature list. Not a pitch deck. A narrative — about why this specific connection, right now, is worth a real conversation.

03

Cinematic Delivery

Every brief is a visual experience. Scroll-animated, beautifully typeset, built like editorial content — not a slide deck, not an email attachment. Something that makes the recipient feel like they were seen.

04

Private by Design

Each brief is gated with a private link — built exclusively for one person. It won't resolve for anyone else. That exclusivity communicates something before they even read a word.

05

Conversation-First

LORE doesn't close. It opens. The brief is designed to start the highest-quality version of a first conversation — one where both parties already have context, and the relationship begins at a higher level.

06

Built for Both Sides of the Table

Whether you're a service provider going after a dream client, a job seeker trying to stand out to a hiring manager, or an influencer chasing a dream brand partnership — LORE works for anyone with a story worth telling and a specific person worth reaching.

03  ·  For Prospecting

Stop pitching.
Elevate the conversation.

The problem isn't that your service isn't good enough. It's that cold outreach has been so thoroughly destroyed by volume and automation that your prospects have built walls against it. Every decision-maker you want to reach is actively ignoring their inbox — not because they don't want partners, but because they can't tell you apart from the last hundred people who reached out with the same generic opener. A LORE brief doesn't pitch. It elevates. It shows them you've done the work, you understand their world, and you have a specific point of view on where the two stories intersect.


The brief arrives like an artifact. Not an email. Not a PDF attachment. A private, cinematic document that feels like it was made just for them — because it was.

"The goal isn't to get them to read a pitch. The goal is to get them to feel understood — and then have a real conversation about what's possible."

  • Role, responsibilities, and decision-making authority
  • Career arc and publicly shared accomplishments
  • Stated priorities and what they're focused on building
  • Company direction, milestones, and market positioning
  • Industry context, as a lens on what matters to them specifically
  • The gaps their role was hired to solve
+
  • What you actually do — in plain language
  • Results and credentials that are relevant to them
  • The specific gap you can fill
  • Why you, why now, why this person
  • A clear call to action — not a pitch, a conversation

= The LORE Brief

A cinematic intelligence brief that opens a conversation at a level that mass outreach could never reach.

01  ·  Bloom Wellness

Bloom Wellness launched in 2020 as a direct-to-consumer supplement and wellness subscription brand built on a core belief: that health products should be clean, transparent, and actually work. In four years, the brand grew to 340K Instagram followers, 48K newsletter subscribers, and a product line that earned consistent five-star retention rates — almost entirely through word of mouth and organic community. Dana joined as VP of Brand in 2023 to lead the next chapter: scaling what's working without losing what makes Bloom, Bloom.

04  ·  For Job Seekers

Don't send
a resume.
Send a statement.

Hiring managers and recruiters receive hundreds of cold applications. Most are identical. A LORE brief for job seekers is a cinematic visual document that tells your story — not just your work history, but your trajectory, your perspective, and why this specific company and role is the right next chapter.


It's the difference between sending a document and making an impression. Between getting lost in an inbox and getting a response within the hour.

01

Your Story, Told With Intent

We dig into your background, your wins, and the through-line of your career, then frame it in direct conversation with the role and company you're pursuing. Not a summary. A narrative.

02

Research on the Other Side

We research the company, the team, and the hiring manager so your brief speaks to what they're actually building and shows you've done the work to understand it.

03

Cinematic Visual Delivery

The brief is a scroll-animated, visually crafted document delivered via a private link. It looks nothing like a resume. It looks like someone who takes their work seriously.

04

Built for the Right Conversation

The goal isn't to get the job through a brief. The goal is to earn the conversation where you can. LORE opens doors that cold applications rarely do.

ALEX RIVERA PRIVATE BRIEF  ·  VOLTA STUDIO

Career Brief  ·  Volta Studio  ·  2026

Jordan —
you've been saying Volta needs
a systems thinker on the design team.
I've been building that
for six years.

I've followed Volta's work since the Meridian rebrand in 2024. The way your team approaches design systems as infrastructure, not decoration, is exactly the philosophy I've been executing at scale for the past three years. I'm not looking for a place to practice. I'm looking for a team building something worth contributing to.

01  ·  Who I Am

I'm a Senior Brand Designer currently at Crest Studio, where I lead design systems and brand identity work for mid-market tech clients. Before Crest, I spent three years at a fintech startup where I owned the full rebrand from brand strategy through design system build-out, resulting in a 40% lift in brand recognition and a design system adopted by a 40-person engineering team. I speak at industry events on the intersection of brand identity and product systems thinking. I'm ready for a team where craft is the standard, not the exception.

02  ·  Why Volta, Why Now

What Volta Is Building

  • A design team scaling from 4 to 10 in 2026
  • A design systems practice you've said publicly is a 2026 priority
  • Client work that demands brand and product thinking in the same breath
  • A culture where craft is the expectation, not the bonus
vs

What Alex Brings Specifically

  • Built and shipped two design systems from zero to production
  • Brand identity work that lives in product, not just decks
  • Experience scaling design processes alongside growing engineering teams
  • Ready to contribute on day one, and build for the long game

03  ·  Three Things I'd Start on Day One

Priority 01

Design System Audit

Map what exists, identify the gaps, and propose a system architecture that scales with the team you're building toward, not the team you have today.

Priority 02

Brand-to-Product Bridge

Close the gap between how Volta brands clients and how those brands live in product. Most agencies leave this on the table. I've built the bridge twice.

Priority 03

Team Design Language

As you scale from 4 to 10 designers, a shared design language becomes critical. I'd drive the process of defining it before it becomes a problem.
