FAQs

How do you help build internal and board buy-in?

We approach every project knowing we need to win the understanding, confidence, and enthusiasm of decision-makers beyond the core team. We work with our clients to uncover opportunities to build enthusiastic endorsement where there might otherwise be hesitation.

Can you support us through a full multi-year campaign?

We can and we often do. From pre-pre-public visioning and case-stating efforts through public launches and impact storytelling to campaign celebration galas, we can help craft solutions in any campaign phase or all of them.

How do you measure storytelling impact?

How we measure depends on what your goals are and where your audiences are being met. For the high-touch, personalized storytelling that characterizes the leadership phase of a campaign, we look at how confidently leadership volunteers are internalizing and making use of the tools we create. For messages aimed at a broader public, we have sophisticated attribution and analytics measures at our disposal.

Do you provide both strategy and execution?

Yes, we do—with the caveat that we do not solicit gifts on behalf of our clients. Whether we work with you on executable strategy or strategic executions, we recognize that building your internal capacity is how we best serve you.
