How StoneTurn Achieved Global Market Expansion
A fast-growing advisory firm wanted to compete at a higher level, expand into new markets, and evolve beyond being the “best-kept secret” in consulting.
StoneTurn partnered with Howbridge to clarify its brand position, strengthen its market presence, and build a scalable growth platform that supported international expansion, talent growth, and new business opportunities.
How Howbridge Helped:
Howbridge embedded alongside StoneTurn leadership as a strategic growth partner—working across brand positioning, partner alignment, business development, culture, recruitment marketing, and digital expansion.
Together, we helped transform the firm from a respected niche player into a globally recognized advisory brand positioned for long-term growth.

The Challenge:
Evolve the firm’s positioning, visibility, and growth infrastructure to compete on a larger global stage.
StoneTurn had built a strong reputation delivering high-level advisory services across regulatory, risk, compliance, investigations, and dispute consulting. But as the firm grew, leadership recognized the need to evolve its positioning to compete for larger opportunities, attract top-tier talent, and support expansion into new practice areas and international markets.
A newly hired CMO needed a strategic growth partner that could bring both high-level thinking and hands-on execution across branding, marketing, culture, and business development.
The challenge wasn’t simply visibility. It was defining what truly made StoneTurn different—and building the systems, messaging, and market presence needed to scale with clarity and confidence.

Solution:
Align brand, culture, and market strategy to build a scalable platform for long-term growth.
StoneTurn’s growth required more than marketing support—it required alignment across positioning, leadership, culture, and execution.
Howbridge worked shoulder-to-shoulder with firm leadership to help define the company’s purpose, sharpen its market position, and build the infrastructure needed to support sustainable growth. By aligning branding, recruitment, digital presence, business development, and strategic messaging, the firm was able to compete for larger opportunities while expanding into new markets and practice areas.
The result was a stronger global brand, accelerated growth, and a more scalable platform for the future.
