Environmental organizations are trapped in project-by-project funding cycles that prevent them from building realistic capacity.

Six Months In.
20% Funded.

When you're halfway through the year with only a fraction of your general operating budget secured, the stress is crushing.

Will the funding come?
Can you make payroll?
Should you cut programs?

What if your story built the funder relationships that created predictable, unrestricted support? That takes Holistic Storytelling—not just better content, but organizational transformation.

Facts Inform.
Stories Build Relationships.

We don't just help you tell better stories; we help you become better storytellers through three strategic disciplines:

01 Strategic Storytelling Clarity

We don't rewrite your strategic plan; we help you refresh it and see it through the lens of story. This means identifying how your current strategy builds (or blocks) the relationships with supporters you need for unrestricted support.

02 Story Infrastructure

Based on your strategic clarity, we build internal systems and culture shifts so storytelling becomes how you think, plan, and relate, not just what you produce.

This includes story collection systems, staff capacity building, and the infrastructure that enables every team member to become a strategic storyteller.

03 Strategic Story Execution

We develop creative assets that don't just communicate your story - they strengthen your capacity as storytellers and deepen funder relationships. Every creative decision reinforces your strategic infrastructure.

Storytelling Tips For You

Storytelling Tips for You

Storytelling Tips

What's your storytelling approach?

We move minds by touching hearts, revealing the deeper meaning in real moments. Our people-focused stories create emotional impact, fostering understanding and empathy. We believe facts and figures are meaningless without the context of a compelling narrative.

Why are you so expensive?

Looking for the cheapest option? We're not a fit. If these numbers are outside your budget, we get it. Check out our free storytelling guide and resources!

Emotive storytelling films start at $16,000
Story Consulting sessions are $3,000
Simple fixed-scope projects are $5,000 - $10,000

Can storytelling benefit us, even without video marketing?

Yes! Storytelling is more than video. It's about finding your voice and messaging. Our Storytelling Consulting helps you cut through the noise, especially in complex sectors like environment justice. Even without video plans, a session clarifies your message and strengthens community alignment.

How long does a project take?

Project timelines vary: simple fixed-scope projects (1.5-2 months), emotive films (2-3+ months), and story consulting (2-hour workshop).

Can you film my event?

Oh no! We focus on storytelling, not event coverage — unless it's part of the bigger story we're telling.

Do you only work with environmental organizations?

We partner with the right fit. While we occasionally work with other great organizations, our focus is environmental groups.
