It’s 7:30am. A phone lights up with news alerts, policy announcements, fundraising appeals and work updates, with each one insisting it matters. Most are skimmed, ignored, or muted. Not because people don’t care, but because attention is already spent.
You’ve felt this yourself. When everything is urgent, nothing quite lands. Messages blur together and overwhelm turns into disengagement.
Now imagine trying to share something that genuinely matters in that environment. A service that could help. A change designed to make life better. The intent and evidence is there, but without connection, it disappears into the noise.
In moments like these, storytelling is what cuts through.
Our storytelling capability helps organisations create purposeful narratives that move people emotionally, build their understanding, and make action feel possible, especially where issues are complex, sensitive, or deeply human.
What we help you accomplish
Storytelling helps people make sense of change, and find their way through.
We support organisations to:
- launch new initiatives or services in ways people can actually understand and trust
- communicate complex policy, reform, or social issues without losing the human reality
- educate the public or specific audiences on difficult subject matter
- elevate voices that are often unheard or misrepresented
- bring change programs to life for communities, staff, or stakeholders
Our role is to find the emotional core of what matters, and make sure people hear it.
You’ll work directly with our embedded creative team - videographers, writers, producers, and animators - from concept to cut. We respond to practicalities with care and clarity, so the story doesn’t get lost in the process.
What we deliver
We design the right format, tone, and medium for your context and audience.
That might include:
- Documentary video: interview-led stories that foreground real people and real experience
- Narrative video: Scripted or semi-scripted content with clear narrative arcs, from explainer videos to cinematic campaigns.
- Animation: 2D or 3D animation and motion graphics that simplify the complex and visualise the invisible.
- Story and content strategy: clarifying your core narrative, audience, and intent
- Production planning: From scripts and schedules to shoot logistics, voiceovers and post-production.
- Co-design and storytelling workshops: developing stories with communities or teams
- Campaign and distribution planning: launch strategy, channels, and content rollout
Our work has
- Helped young people learn how to support friends with suicidal ideation
- Supported carers to understand spiritual care as part of their practice
- Helped aged care workers understand the human reality of forced adoption through award-winning animation
What makes us different
Our approach
We start by listening
We hold people’s stories carefully, whether they belong to victim-survivors of family violence, people navigating health or mental health journeys, communities affected by policy change, or staff working through organisational transformation.
We design through complexity
The challenges we work with are often systemic, emotional, and human. We use creative thinking to find clear, hopeful paths through that complexity without flattening it.
We work shoulder to shoulder
The best stories emerge through collaboration. We work closely with clients, communities, and stakeholders from beginning to end.
We believe story is human
Stories connect in ways other forms of communication can’t. They engage emotionally, scale across audiences, and move people to action.
