Research moves. Outcomes that don't shrug.

INTEGRAL

Repositioned out of a price war and into a category of one.

THE MOVE

Buyer interview programme + three-position focus group test.

"Storm gave us language our sales team could actually use."

BAMBOO ORCHARD

Sales cycle cut from nine months to four.

THE MOVE

Niche redefinition; new website copy and outreach scripts.

"The right buyers self-qualify in. The wrong ones don't waste our time."

SOUFFLET MALT

Pre-tender market position that held against three larger incumbents.

THE MOVE

Competitor desk research + market sentiment analysis.

"They split the room before we committed to a position."

The niching. The market positioning. The work that gets you out of the herd and into first place.

Discretion is structural. We don't publish a client logo wall because the work is competitively sensitive — most of our buyers don't want the rest of their category to know they're working with us until the position is live and the lead is built.

Storm leads the work at Soba. They run the research operation, write the literature reviews, and sit at the head of every Enterprise engagement.

Market positioning, with bite. Since 2023 — and ahead of every other firm in this category.
