Supply Chain

Fragmented systems. Rising costs. Global disruption. Clear story.

Supply chain is one of the world’s most complex, high-stakes categories in the world. We turn operational expertise, technical depth, and real-world impact into clear, credible narratives that resonate across business media, trade press, analysts, and enterprise buyers.

The Supply Chain clarity problem

Supply chain teams work in a fast-changing world: shifting regulations, new compliance demands, higher penalties, global disruptions, and vendors who oversimplify operational risk. They need clarity, precision, and an impact-grounded narrative—not buzzwords.

01

The story is complex, but media wants simple

01
What's really happening

Supply chain innovation is full of nuance - compliance rules, workflows, operational math, risk mitigation, and real-world constraints. But reporters need a clear, digestible angle. Most supply chain companies struggle to translate their technical depth into a simple, compelling story that doesn’t oversimplify the truth.

02

The industry is seen as “Back office,” not front-page

02
What's really happening

Despite its real-world impact, supply chain doesn’t naturally attract attention unless something breaks. Companies have to work twice as hard to articulate why their innovation matters now - and to tie their story to broader business, geopolitical, or consumer trends that reporters already care about.

03

Regulations shift constantly, and reporters expect real-time accuracy

03
What's really happening

Media will only cover regulation-heavy topics if the company demonstrates deep, up-to-date understanding of the rules. One inaccurate claim about tariffs, penalties, port protocols, or ESG compliance can kill a story. Most teams don’t have messaging built to withstand that scrutiny - so reporters pass.

04

It's hard to prove impact without naming customers

04
What's really happening

Supply chain companies often work with large enterprises under strict NDAs, making it difficult to share logos, results, or real examples. Without the ability to showcase measurable outcomes - reduced penalties, improved forecasting accuracy, fewer delays - it’s challenging to build credibility with press who want evidence.

The Colab Way

How we deliver media coverage that actually moves your business

01

Translating operational complexity into clear, compelling angles

Supply chain stories are inherently complex - workflows, compliance rules, penalties, AI models, integrations, carrier dynamics. We break that down into simple, sharp narratives that reporters understand instantly without losing the nuance that makes your product credible.

02

Finding the newsworthy moments in “Unsexy” industries

Supply chain doesn’t automatically generate headlines. We identify the hooks - macro trends, regulatory shifts, cost pressures, labor dynamics, geopolitical risks - and position your story at the center of the conversation reporters already care about.

03

Messaging tailored to regulatory realities, not buzzwords

Supply chain credibility depends on understanding how regulations, tariffs, chargebacks, audits, and penalty structures actually work. We ensure your narrative reflects the current landscape, avoids missteps, and speaks directly to compliance-minded enterprise buyers.

04

Deep understanding of workflow, risk, and real-world constraints

We frame your story within the context of actual operational challenges: labor shortages, port congestion, aging infrastructure, chargebacks, fuel volatility, demand swings, and geopolitical risk. That nuance is what separates credible narrative from vendor noise.

05

Turning hard-to-share results into proof reporters can use

NDAs and enterprise customers aren’t roadblocks. We shape defensible impact—reduced penalties, better on-time performance, lower chargebacks, forecasting gains—using anonymized data, pattern-level insights, and operational examples reporters can trust.

“Supply chain work is mission-critical, but it’s rarely seen as headline-friendly. We know how to pull out the angles - the stakes, the tension, the real-world impact - that turn operational depth into stories reporters want.”

How do we make supply chain newsworthy? It isn’t a ‘flashy’ industry.

Supply chain becomes newsworthy when tied to the right tension: rising costs, regulations, geopolitical risk, labor shortages, customer experience, or global disruptions. We position your story inside the trends reporters already care about, turning operational impact into coverage that resonates.

We can’t share customer names or detailed data. Can you still build credibility?

Absolutely. Many supply chain companies operate under strict NDAs. We extract anonymized impact data, patterns, benchmarks, operational wins, and defensible insights that show results without exposing sensitive information. Reporters respect proof - and there are many ways to show it ethically.

Our technology is complicated. Can you explain it without oversimplifying?

Yes. Supply chain and logistics require precision - workflows, compliance rules, carrier relationships, predictive models, penalties, and integrations all matter. We translate your operational depth into clear, reporter-friendly storytelling without losing the technical substance that sets you apart.

Can you help us speak to analysts, procurement teams, and operators - not just tech press?

Yes. In this category, analysts, trades, and operational stakeholders often influence buying decisions more than top-tier press. We tailor your story to each group - ensuring consistency and credibility across every channel buyers use to evaluate vendors.

There are regulations we can’t publicly comment on because they’re politically sensitive. Can you still help us tell our story?

This is extremely common in supply chain. Many regulatory topics are politically charged, legally restricted, or tied to ongoing negotiations, and speaking too broadly can create risk. We help you navigate that line by shaping messaging around operational impact, compliance readiness, industry trends, and customer value - without taking political positions or commenting on issues you’re not permitted to discuss. The result is a narrative that’s accurate, safe, and still meaningful to press and buyers.
