You built something good, and now it all runs through your phone. Founders in lifestyle, wellness, and hospitality call us at that point, when the brand undersells the experience and the team can’t grow without them. We rebuild the brand and the systems behind it, then hand both to the team.
01 Selected work
Every brand below runs on work truetales designed, built, and handed over. The sites are live, self-hosted, and owned by the client.
Rebrand / Website / Team dashboard / Publishing pipeline / SEO
First villa live 9 days after handover
Three companies became one brand, backed by a CMS, a live sale-listing catalog, multi-currency search, and a dashboard the team uses to add listings, work leads, and publish to production.

Brand / Website / Operations / Launch
Opened with a 20-person team
We built the brand, website, booking flow, treatment menu, supplier setup, and 20-person roster. NOR opened on 1 August with the full operation running.
Rebrand / Content / Lead system
2× revenue in 90 days
We rebuilt the brand, content, planning guide, lead pipeline, and paid acquisition. Revenue doubled in the first 90 days.
Positioning / Content system / Social
3.9× in about a year
We rebuilt the positioning and content system around the work itself. Instagram went from 50,000 to 194,000 in about a year.
That kind of growth does not happen by accident.
“When you came on board, [the account] was sitting at around 50,000 followers. We are now at 194,000. That kind of growth does not happen by accident, and it is a direct reflection of the quality, creativity, and care you brought to every piece of content.”
Unprompted, by email
50k → 194k
Instagram followers, in about a year.
UGC production / Casting / Creative direction / Ad creative
Four shoots a month, delivered
We turned ad-hoc shoots into a monthly production line: creator sourcing, casting, direction, 4 shoots, and 8 to 12 finished pieces delivered ready to post.
4 shoots
a month
Every month, cast, shot, and delivered straight to Hamburg.
We work inside your team: your channel, your tools, our people on the same calls as yours. Every piece we build gets handed to someone on your side who can run it.
Yolla's team publishes its own villa pages. NOR Bingin Spa opened with its brand, booking flow, treatment menu, suppliers, and 20-person team in place.
02 How it works
Three steps, always in that order. You pay nothing until we’ve shown you what we’d fix.
Free, 20 minutes. We look at your website, content, and booking pages the way a new customer does, then walk you through where you lose them and what we’d fix first. If the brand isn’t the problem, we’ll say so.
From $6,500. Week one settles the plan and week two is your stop point. Inside, the work runs in three moves: uncover what customers are actually buying, express it in the brand and the website, and amplify it with content and the tools your team runs. Live in 4 to 6 weeks. It runs on your accounts and stays yours.
From $4,500 a month, optional. We run it with your team every week until they run it without us. Yolla’s team published its first villa through the new system nine days after handover.
03 What we build
Most premium brands split this across four suppliers: a branding agency, a social team, a web developer, a growth freelancer. Each one polishes its own piece, and customers fall through the gaps between them. We build all four against one strategy, and each carries proof from a live client.
04 Ways in
Every engagement starts with the free review. You pay nothing until we’ve shown you what we’d fix, and the first paid step has a stop point built in.
We look at your site the way a new customer does and walk you through what we found. If the brand isn’t what’s holding you back, we’ll say so.
We fix what the review found, as one project at one price. Week one settles the plan. Week two is your stop point: stop there and the first payment is the whole cost.
We run what we built alongside your team, every week, until they run it without us.
Monthly content for fashion and lifestyle brands, cast, shot and delivered ready to post. It runs on its own line and starts directly.
See how it works →05 The studio
truetales works with a short list of brands worldwide. Positioning, content, websites, and internal systems stay under one direction, with the same studio accountable for what ships.
The range comes from four working disciplines: luxury hospitality, venture-backed operations, photography, and the systems behind Yolla's live listing catalog and team dashboard.
The work is finished the day your team runs it on its own.
St Regis · Ritz Carlton · Kempinski · Design Hotels
Luxury hospitality set the standard: what premium guests expect, how service earns its price, and which details carry the experience.
Uniplaces · $30M raised · Skype and Airbnb investors
Two national markets built from zero sharpened the studio's approach to pipeline, sales, operations, and speed.
Photography · Art direction
Photography sets the visual bar for casting, styling, art direction, and every image the studio ships.
Dashboards · Automation · AI
Agents, automations, dashboards, and custom tools run inside the studio. Yolla's backend is the clearest proof.
06 Questions
With a free first-look review. You send the website, we look at it before a 20 minute call and walk you through what we found. If there’s work worth doing, the next step is a Build: one fixed price from $6,500, the plan settled in week one, and a stop point in week two.
We work inside the team you already have. Existing designers, photographers, and freelancers keep their lane, and we hold the whole: the positioning, the systems, and the standard everything ships against.
Yes, as a Build: one fixed price, agreed before anything starts. Week one checks the positioning underneath it, because a new website on a weak brand only shows the weakness faster.
Yes. The free review is advice, and so is week one of every Build. Stop at the week-two review and you keep the plan for the first 30% of the price. Ongoing, Adopt includes a weekly working session.
Strategy and creative direction stay close to every account. A dedicated team runs content production, while website and systems work stays inside truetales.
The review is ready before the call. A Build settles its plan in week one and goes live in four to six weeks, depending on scope. On Adopt, the first content ships inside the first month.
A founder who engages. The work needs decisions, access, and honest numbers. Brands that hand it over and disappear get a fraction of the value, which is why the weekly session is part of every Adopt.
Sometimes. A performance layer sits on top of the retainer, base plus 5% of the revenue you can attribute to the work. It only makes sense for clients who share their numbers openly.
