The Short Answer
Andy Raskin develops strategic narrative with CEOs and leadership teams, using a sales deck to work through the story. PitchKitchen creates a Magnetic Messaging Framework and makes that agreed message available through a private AI Brand Twin MCP. That gives your team and compatible AI tools a shared reference for website copy, sales materials, and ongoing content. April Dunford, Fletch PMM, and StoryBrand offer other approaches to positioning and clarity. This comparison is published by PitchKitchen, one of the providers listed.

The Other Option
About Andy Raskin
Andy Raskin's official site describes engagements for venture-backed CEOs and leadership teams that align the company around a strategic narrative. He describes the story as supporting sales, marketing, fundraising, product development, and recruiting. His published testimonials also reference storytelling training and workshops. His homepage doesn't provide a current fee schedule or exhaustive deliverables list. Ask directly about pricing, fit, timeline, implementation, and sales training. In his own public posts, Raskin says he develops and iterates the strategic narrative as a sales deck. He also describes CEO and team sessions, customer interviews, and testing in real conversations.
Strengths
- A clear emphasis on the CEO and leadership team's shared strategic story.
- A narrative intended to support decisions across the business, beyond homepage wording.
- Named customer testimonials discussing alignment, positioning, sales conversations, and training.
Best For
A CEO who wants the leadership team to align around a strategic narrative and can commit time to that work.
Limitations
- The public homepage doesn't provide enough detail to compare final fees or scope. Request a proposal.
- A compelling narrative still needs supporting buyer evidence and consistent use across sales and marketing.
- Confirm who will produce and maintain each asset. A missing item on a public page isn't proof that a consultant won't provide it.

About PitchKitchen
Greg Rosner runs PitchKitchen for B2B founders who feel their message is costing them business. The work starts with conversations about what buyers understand, where deals stall, and what customers actually value. Individual interviews with the founder and selected team members feed the Magnetic Messaging Framework. That shared reference then guides the agreed website, sales, and AI work. The completed framework is also made available through a private AI Brand Twin MCP, so compatible AI tools can retrieve it as they work.
What Working With PitchKitchen Includes
Hear the people closest to the buying decision
The founder, sales, product, and delivery teams may each know a different reason customers choose you. Individual interviews make those differences visible.
Decide what the buyer needs to understand
The framework connects the buyer's situation, the problem with the current approach, your point of view, the offer, and the evidence supporting it.
Put the agreed message into use
Define the website and sales assets in the proposal so the team knows what will actually be produced and who owns implementation.
Connect your AI to the agreed message
Your completed MMF becomes a private AI Brand Twin served through MCP. Your team can connect compatible AI tools to retrieve the same messaging reference when drafting a webpage, preparing a sales deck, or checking a headline. They spend less time re-explaining the business and work from a shared starting point. People still review final output.
Make the scope and price visible
Published Sprint tiers: $15,000 below $5M revenue, $25,000 at $5M-$25M, and from $45,000 at $25M-$75M. Confirm your deliverables in the proposal.

Questions People Ask
Andy Raskin & PitchKitchen: FAQs
Who are the alternatives to Andy Raskin?
PitchKitchen, April Dunford, Fletch PMM, and StoryBrand are options for different parts of the narrative and messaging problem. Compare the actual scope rather than treating all four as substitutes for the same engagement.
How much does Andy Raskin charge?
Woden, another narrative consultancy, lists Andy Raskin at $100,000+ per engagement in its published alternatives guide. That is a third-party estimate, not a confirmed rate. Separately, a prospect told PitchKitchen that ChatGPT had suggested $100,000-$300,000 plus a small equity stake. We have not seen the underlying ChatGPT conversation or a proposal supporting that claim, and have not independently verified either the range or the equity requirement. Andy does not publish rates on his official site. These reports provide context for what buyers may encounter; request a direct quote before comparing costs.
Does Andy Raskin require equity?
We have heard that claim secondhand from a prospect who attributed it to ChatGPT, but have not verified a mandatory equity requirement. In a public LinkedIn post, Andy discusses equity as a possible way to work with early-stage founders. An option under consideration is different from a standard engagement term. Ask him directly about the terms for your company.
Does Andy Raskin only work with large companies?
His official site describes venture-backed CEOs and leadership teams and includes testimonials from different stages. We haven't verified a revenue minimum. Ask about fit rather than ruling yourself out based on an assumed threshold.
Does Andy Raskin provide sales training or implementation?
His site includes testimonials about storytelling training and workshops. It doesn't publish a complete current scope menu. Ask which training and implementation services are available for your engagement.
What does PitchKitchen cost?
Published Sprint tiers: $15,000 below $5M revenue, $25,000 at $5M-$25M, and from $45,000 at $25M-$75M. Confirm your deliverables in the proposal.
Can we see what PitchKitchen changes?
The ScaleSpark case study shows archived before-and-after homepage images and the move from a back-office services description to Smart Operations and SparkStack. It documents a messaging change and founder feedback, not a measured revenue or conversion lift.
How is an AI Brand Twin MCP different from a sales deck?
A sales deck organizes a story for a presentation. PitchKitchen's AI Brand Twin MCP gives compatible AI tools access to the completed Magnetic Messaging Framework, so the team can use the agreed message across website copy, sales materials, and ongoing content. MCP is the connection; the MMF supplies the company-specific messaging. A deck can also be used as AI context. The distinction here is the shared framework and live connection, rather than whether AI can read a deck.
