The Work Is the Proof
CASE STUDIES
We build the narrative infrastructure that holds organizations together as they grow, evolve, and step into greater visibility.
The work below represents partnerships where clarity was not optional, where the story had to hold across funders, communities, and public scrutiny at once. A selection of current and past engagements spanning twenty years of institutional work.
Strategic Storytelling at National Scale
Three years. A national expansion. A narrative that held it all together.
Building Community Narrative Infrastructure
Five founders. Six months. 10x revenue. It started with the story.
Narrative Leadership at Statewide Scale
A new city. A legacy to honor. A brand that earned its place.
When the Goal Is Behavior Change, You Need More Than a Campaign.
A public health goal turned into a movement. 78% recall. Adopted nationally.
Comprehensive brand Identity (Madison Park)
Brand identities built for the neighborhoods they were entering, not just the market.
Brand Strategy + Facilitator (NextSports)
When multiple sub-brands don't speak the same language, growth stalls. We fixed that.
Some Stories Are Bigger Than a Logo.
A landmark renovation needed a brand that could hold the whole community.
PORTFOLIO
A selection of brand identity, web, video, and design work spanning twenty years of partnerships.
