Community Connection

As the community for your product or business grows, we can help you keep connected through emailers, in-person meetups & events, online workshops, webinars and more.
This includes email template design, writing and managing user communications, and planning and executing events.
We believe everyone has something to say, and the closest thing to knowing yourself is knowing how to write— to put your thoughts into words. We offer free community workshops, ticketed workshops with experts, and specially tailored workshops for your team or organization to have a safe place to explore writing.
We believe being in community means using our words and actions to uplift or protect those who are feeling the worst effects of imperialism, capitalism, majoritarianism, and the patriarchy. We organize film screenings and fundraising for human rights issues close to our heart, whether it be the CAA protests, or the COVID migrant crisis, or the current genocide in Palestine. We can help you organize events and run fundraisers too.
Strengthen trust and creative problem-solving through self-expression, theatre foundations, and play. We run in-person workshops tailored to the needs of your team.

Our Team

Sure, we’re great at design and creative comms, but what we’re experts at is building community.

We’ll find the people who care deeply about what you care about. Your customers are our clients, and we care about them. We also look at your organization and vision as a whole and challenge you to enrich your community, whether it be through giving back, more inclusive internal mechanisms, bolder political stances, more transparent pricing, or going the extra mile for a customer.
