Brand Storyteller for Founder‑Led Tech Studio

About Us
Freihand Labor (freihandelabor.com) is a 15‑person web‑agency‑turned‑software studio based in Zürich. From our first line of code in a co‑working basement to shipping SaaS for Fortune‑500 clients, we’ve lived every bootstrap cliché. We recorded hours of candid audio—founder rants, team anecdotes, even the odd late‑night pizza debate. Those files hold our why.

Project Goal
Distil those raw recordings into a 5‑piece story toolkit that powers our new site, decks, and social feeds:
1. North‑Star Manifesto (300‑500 words)
2. Expanded Brand Story (1 200‑1 500 words)
3. Story Map & Theme‑Board (internal)
4. Three Project Spotlights (≈300 words each)
5. Quote/Snippet Library + AI‑Ready Outline

Responsibilities
• Listen to / skim transcripts of ~4 h founder & team audio (we provide Whisper transcripts).
• Build the Story Map; confirm arc, voice, and key quotes.
• Write & iterate: one consolidated feedback round per milestone.
• Deliver copy in Google Docs with H‑tags + inline comments for reuse.

Budget & Scheduling
• Fixed price €1 000 (escrowed, see milestones below).
• Kick‑off early June; final copy by end of June (dates flexible).

Must‑Haves
• Portfolio showing founder‑voice pieces and at least one case study.
• Comfort with tech/start‑up context; ability to de‑jargon code talk.
• Track record of turning interviews into compelling long‑form narrative.
• Native‑level English; meticulous self‑edit (Grammarly/DeepL or equivalent).

Nice‑to‑Haves
• Journalism, creative‑non‑fiction, or radio‑feature background.
• Experience structuring copy for AI repurposing.
