Strategic Communication & Narrative Change

We develop new or refreshed communication strategies driven by shared values that resonate across audiences and maximize the impact of your programmatic work. Together, we identify the values, stories, voices and channels that can drive change internally and externally. You walk away with actionable plans and fresh inspiration to advance your mission.

We examine the storytelling landscape around your issue and craft a compelling over-arching story that can move the needle by changing norms, conversations, and culture. Your strategic narrative can be articulated through advocacy campaigns, community mobilization, or arts and culture to support immediate and long-term change-making.  

We design innovative solutions to deliver your message in the most powerful, audience-appropriate way. From immersive theater programs to spoken word performances to print and digital collateral we develop breakthrough activations that make your messages stand out.  

We identify, convene, and engage stakeholders at all levels to elevate key voices, build strategic relationships, and inform strategies. Through listening tours, community advisory boards, participatory design, and public and private events, we ensure projects are truly community-driven, giving them lasting impact and developing local champions in the process. 

We go beyond polling and surveys to understand what matters most to your audience. Our quantitative and qualitative methods reveal core values and beliefs, trusted messengers, avenues for engagement, and barriers to action—all to help you develop a winning strategy to engage and mobilize core audiences and drive meaningful change. 

We take a trauma-informed approach to community engagement in order to ethically elevate and amplify the voices of communities most impacted by inequality and injustice. Through ideation, listening, training and production, we help you and your community partners tell dynamic stories that center resilience and hope, humanize issues and leave a lasting imprint. 

Our team uses a range of quantitative, qualitative, and participatory methods to identify unique ways to track and measure the impact of your communications and narrative change efforts. Our insights help steer your strategy toward maximum impact and provide valuable lessons for the field.
