About 2021 …

In 2021 we officially launched Story + Strategy. For anyone who’s ever started a company (much less in the middle of a pandemic!) you know the range of emotions involved. Through it all, we’ve stayed focused, positive, and very thoughtful not only in how we've worked, but who we've worked with.

From Day 1, we were fortunate to partner with great companies, led by inspiring leaders; people who both trusted and believed in us. Whether it was a fast-rising Academy Award-nominated studio, a growing national tech brand or a breakthrough global streamer...we've empowered our partners to be thought leaders in their industries and ground their storytelling in brand strategy and consumer insights.

We've also pushed ourselves into new territory; from joining the adjunct faculty at Johns Hopkins' Carey Business School to helping develop and launch a certification program for brand storytelling. It's been quite a year on so many levels and we're incredibly thankful to our partners, business network and friends and family for the encouragement, time and mentorship. We're discovering, learning and growing every single day and we couldn't be happier...talk about good buckets to fill! 

Grateful,

Shawn Brain & Marc Battaglia; co-founders
