Every project starts differently.
Understanding comes first.
Before there's a script or storyboard, we identify what matters—then shape the story from there.
We help organizations communicate ideas that matter—with clarity, credibility, and purpose.
Different formats. Same approach: understand what matters, who it matters to, and the clearest way to connect the two.
Every great idea deserves to be understood.
Anne Marie Squeo recognized it early: the strongest stories aren't invented—they're uncovered by understanding what matters most.
At Xerox, that meant moving beyond product language and letting scientists explain the technology in their own words. That approach became the foundation of our work. Whether introducing new technologies, helping executives communicate with confidence, or translating complex research for broader audiences, the goal remains the same: make important ideas accessible without oversimplifying them.
But clarity has to hold up outside the boardroom.

The right voice takes time to find.
Ideas often begin in conference rooms—carefully considered, but removed from the way people actually speak. Our job is to bridge that gap.
With the Kabuki Syndrome Foundation, the story emerged from families and physicians—parents describing daily life, doctors explaining the science, and a community united by hope. Our role was to listen, recognize what mattered most, and preserve the honesty that made those stories powerful.
Authenticity changes everything that follows.
Some stories are shaped through listening. Others demand immediate understanding.
“StorySquad has an incredible ability to translate the lived experience of Kabuki syndrome into powerful, authentic storytelling.”

Every project creates unexpected opportunities.
In South Dakota, we had 48 hours to capture voters on primary day. There was no script—just conversations, quick decisions, and the instinct to recognize when someone was saying something genuine. Those moments became the story.
That same instinct shapes our advocacy work today. Whether partnering with agencies like Orange or strategists like Mike Murphy, we build stories around people speaking in their own words.
What happens when words can't carry it?
“Super creative, reliable, and always making ideas better without inflating the budget. They ask the right questions, go the extra mile and consistently deliver work we trust.”

For Hilton's Housekeeping Week, the challenge was communicating across languages and cultures without relying on words.
StorySquad relied on visual communication rather than spoken language. With only seconds to connect, every image had to carry meaning on its own.
Each piece centered on a real employee, using simple visual storytelling to celebrate the moments that define hotel life before revealing the person behind the work.
The result was immediate, human, and universally understood.
Some ideas are better shown than explained.
“I am blown away! StorySquad is a true partner. What they create is engaging and fun and does a great job hitting all of our objectives.”
