Without great content worth watching, the platform is just a shell. So we build the platform, as well as contribute to the content inside of it.
ToldUntold is based between London and Shenzhen, working for the maisons and the people on their shop floors.
About ToldUntold
ToldUntold began with a simple idea, to build a platform that teaches people the way they actually want to learn today. That idea found its focus in retail, in giving sales teams everything they need to sell and perform in store. Samantha, the CEO & Co-Founder and an avid longtime shopper, spent years in stores as a customer, and saw a big gap in brand and product knowledge on the shop floor, and understood the difference a well-trained sales team makes to the customer experience.
We didn't want to take the standard route, the one we've seen time and time again in the LMS space, where training looks like digital homework that people become allergic to. We wanted to build something people actually want to open, that fits how they already browse, scroll, and consume. Which is why ToldUntold looks like what you'd get if Netflix, Instagram, TikTok, Substack and Spotify Podcasts had a training tool lovechild.
Going back to Samantha's original conviction, when a client is browsing in a store and the team genuinely knows what they're selling and how to sell it, that is often what can decide whether that client walks out with a shopping bag (or several) or leaves empty-handed. So the platform is also able to clearly show the correlation between product content performance on the platform (especially since content is linked back to product where relevant) and the sales of that product, from a POS, market, country or global perspective - and then be able to make suggestions on which kind of content should be pushed to the teams to help close the gap(s) where needed.
ToldUntold is as much a creative company as a tech one. Without great content worth watching, the platform is just a shell. So we also produce content for the platform and build the programming strategy behind each format, while clients produce as much of their own content as they want. Our content philosophy highlights both the 'told' (facts, specifications, materials, techniques) and the 'untold' (anecdotes, stories, context), because it's often in the untold that you more deeply understand the told.
Today ToldUntold has grown beyond pure training, into visual merchandising, operationally-led tools like workforce & task management, an AI agent on the platform. However, training and showing its impact on the business remains central to what we do. And always with the notion of engaging the B2B crowd just like you would the B2C crowd, because why should great experiences only be afforded to clients and not internal teams..?!
The team
London for content, brand, product and clients. Shenzhen for product and engineering. We work close, async, and to the point.


Founders
ToldUntold was founded by Samantha Larsen, CEO, an avid longtime shopper who spent years in stores as a customer and saw the gap between what maisons know and what their advisors can say.
Founded across London and Shenzhen by a senior team from retail, marketing and engineering, ToldUntold runs on one conviction, that the shop floor deserves the same craft as the campaign.
How we work
We work with a number of maisons, on the things they show no one else. We name them when they allow it, and never next to a number.
Every figure we publish carries its source and its method. When we cannot source a claim, we leave it out.
