Built for you
Our intent is to create authentic news stories that build awareness for individuals and organizations through dynamic video interviews.
Business challenges we’ve heard:
“We have these messages to share, but our stories aren’t getting picked up by traditional news outlets.”
“How can I build more awareness about my business?”
“How can we more easily share our success, our purpose, our perspectives, our new products and services, or our expertise?
The opportunity
We use our team of video producers, writers, and designers to create Narrative News feature pieces about YOU. Your original video interview (and written editorial story) can easily be re-shared and tagged across social media, posted on websites, and embedded in e-newsletters, etc.
