Tarango: Home

A creative consultancy for
elevated executive storytelling

Behind every great design is a great story.

TARANGO is a creative consultancy that specializes exclusively in executive story decks.

We work closely with our clients to find the story that is not only impactful, but genuinely authentic. Our work is often described as simple, clean and beautiful, but it is always the principles of compelling and persuasive that guide us.

We are professionals in storytelling and transformation. And we hold quality design and collaboration as our key ethos.

At Tarango, we understand that business leaders have the need to communicate powerful ideas but are often without time, resources or capabilities to transform them into a visual story. We partner with you to provide the strategic framework and high-end quality design not often found in the presentation realm. The result is a powerful story deck that promotes persuasive narrative and heightened audience connection.

What makes for a true partnership is the ability to carefully listen, reflect and then return having made the complex simple and the raw perfect.

Hire her now.

Linda's expertise in executive storytelling is undeniable. She has proven to be a valued partner time and again as she partnered with my executive leadership teams at Apple, Dolby and ChargePoint. Always demonstrating that less is more in powerful storytelling, she and her team were amazing to work with as we refreshed our company narrative in compelling messaging and visuals. A true professional in driving the hard conversations to ultimately get to great outcomes.

Jennifer Bowcock Former communications executive, AT&T, Apple, Dolby & ChargePoint
Their work really helped elevate and present us as a first-class brand.

Chris Carlson VP Product Management, Qualys
An exceptional ally to have at your side while developing high-stakes presentations or building a branded presentation identity. Linda has an uncanny ability to listen to complex business ideas, hone in on the proper questions, and refine them and distill them into impressive graphics that neatly summarize sophisticated concepts. Executive team resources are valuable and partnering with Linda and team proved time and again to be an efficient way to get to some of our best presentations.

Andrew Lindsay VP Corporate Development, Jawbone
We worked with Linda over a few months where she created and produced a primary deck that we used for intro-type meetings and funder pitches. It caused us to really drill down on exactly what the essence of the company is, what distinguishes it from other similar organizations and how to approach this market.

Gary Syman Retired Goldman Sachs Partner, Philanthropist & Entrepreneur
As a Strategic Messaging Consultant across industries from Healthcare to High Tech, I've experienced the power of visual storytelling. And when I think of some of the best visual storytelling work, Linda Tarango stands out. Linda has worked seamlessly with me on multiple corporate projects creating elegant and visually memorable presentations our clients are giddy to present.
