Too Many Hats,
Too Little Time.

Your board demands clarity as funding fades.

And to top it off.

The steady pull in multiple directions makes promoting and communicating your organization harder.

But you gotta do something, right?

So, you fall back on technical jargon and statistics that fail to engage your audience.

But there's a better way.

Emotive storytelling can frame your mission, deepen support, and deliver ongoing results.

Through emotive storytelling, we help Communications Directors like you elevate empathy, community, and funding.

Curious how we do it?

Touch the Heart First.
Move the Mind Second.

Story-Driven Marketing Videos

Trying to create stories and content that engage your audience (including donors), on top of managing programs and your team, is a ticket to burnout city.

Our documentaries and video stories help you raise awareness and build trust to deeply connect with your people.

Storytelling Consulting

Being misunderstood is wack and annoying. Plus, squeezing every single point into your stories waters down your message.

Our storytelling consulting sessions transform your complex mission into easy-to-understand stories that best represent you.

3 Reasons Why BairStories Isn't For You

3 Reasons We’re Not the Team for You:

You prefer stats over stories

We're all about capturing hearts, not just heads.

If you insist on communicating by data dumping rather than narrative depth, we won't vibe.

You value transactions over trust

We build stories that deepen relationships between people and companies, not just fleeting attention or cash grabs from donors and investors.

If instant one-off results are more critical than building sustaining relationships with your audience, we're likely not a match for you.

You neglect feelings in business

Our stories are emotive-driven because feelings are part of being human.

We're no match for you if you want to avoid anything personal and stick only to facts and science rather than resonating with people emotionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Storytelling Tips For You

Storytelling Tips for You

Storytelling Tips

What's your storytelling approach?

Our approach involves guiding the heart to move the mind. We communicate the truth in a way that uncovers the deeper significance of real-life moments.

We focus on creating emotionally impactful experiences centered around people so that others can understand and empathize.

We believe storytelling is not sharing facts and statistics or describing actions. These things are meaningless to your audience until they have a story that provides context for those facts.

Why are you so expensive?

A typical film and video production package can range between $50,000 and $20,000. Our minimum level of engagement for a brand film package is $16,000.

Similarly, our Story Consulting service costs $5,000 for a single strategic story session.

We may not be the right fit if you think it is too much for you. But don't sweat; you can still benefit from our free storytelling guide and other resources.

Can storytelling benefit us, even without video marketing?

Yes! Storytelling goes beyond creating videos. It's about finding your voice, selecting the right stories, and effectively integrating them into your messaging.

Our Storytelling Consulting can help you cut through the noise and prevent your voice from being drowned out. It's especially crucial in the environmental and social justice sectors, where complex issues can become overwhelming.

Even if film and video storytelling isn't on your radar, a strategic storytelling session can help you align with your community and leverage your organization's strengths.

How long does a project take?

Our film and video productions typically take 2-3 months. Story consulting is a 4-hour workshop-style session.

Can you film my event?

No. We specialize in storytelling, not event coverage — unless it's part of the bigger story we're telling.

Do you only work with environmental organizations?

No. We work with those who are the right fit.

Occasionally, that means working with awesome people and companies doing great things. However, our target audience is environmental organizations.
