Our Approach
☻
Culture-First
We promote a culture of belonging for all through popular media and arts. The heart of our work centers on the research-based virtues of curiosity and love, which can be practiced by people anywhere, anytime.
❋
Storytelling
We create compelling, character-driven, and original stories that integrate pro-social messages and narratives into a range of formats: social media, TV, theater, experiential, and other media.
✦
Amplify
We ensure stories reach people. We craft a strong, data-driven amplification strategy to reach targeted audiences. We impact produce every project, fostering public engagement and buzz.
✿
Measure
We are rigorous and analytical, not just creative. We partner with researchers and institutions to analyze how these stories impact attitudes and behaviors, through frequency or sentiment analysis and polling.
Our Beliefs
We can’t just create new policies—Cultural norms and relational fabric matter.
Belonging (and who belongs) is modeled to us by popular media and culture.
It’s not data that moves people toward action—it’s story.
