Stories
Built to Scale
Our brand of storytelling isn’t one and done. Modern stories evolve and grow over time with a deeper understanding of the market and all fingers on the pulse of discovering what stories are breaking through. Modern stories brought to life through strategy, creative, media and PR thrive when rooted in our core storytelling principles: Authenticity, Relevance and Value.
Authenticity
An authentic story starts with your mission – true to who you are and what you want to achieve.
Within who you are, we uncover human interest stories and human connection points that change human behavior.
To know that your authenticity is resonating, our media and PR teams start at the end. Establishing a learning and optimization plan inclusive of the most relevant tools and an approach that makes measurement more efficient and acting on insights more productive.
Relevance
Stories that move people tap into culture, sparking real connection and engagement.
Uncovering relevance is art and science. It means trusting your gut (albeit one with decades of learning), backed by a perfect blend of audience data from live media as research, primary and secondary research, AI, and third party tools. We’re humble in our approach and don’t assume the first story created is the final. Testing and learning and optimizing reveals what moves the needle and then we scale to make an even bigger impact.
Value
You know the value you bring as a brand, a product, a person and a movement. Modern stories deliver value at scale.
Our plans are built on media sufficiency principles and avoid unnecessary data costs to maximize every dollar. Earned outreach is crafted around angles impossible to ignore. Content creator partnerships take personalization to a new level. Performance evaluation reveals the value delivered for your stakeholders. Are you creating value that delivers growth?
