WHAT WE DO
At The Modern Narrative, we believe that impactful storytelling goes beyond social media. Brand films capture emotion and purpose in a way that resonates deeply. Radio brings voices to life in intimate and powerful ways. Posters distill complex messages into striking visuals, and local public relations builds trust within communities. Podcasts offer depth, conversation, and insight, while digital media amplifies voices across platforms.
Each tool plays a vital role in shaping how an organization is perceived, especially when securing funding. Even when social media is the avenue, it requires strategy, planning, and more than just content. It needs a clear vision of how an organization wants to position itself. Thoughtful narratives make all the difference, ensuring stories not only reach audiences but also inspire them to act.
HOW WE DO IT
Storytelling today is more than sharing tales. It helps us understand ourselves and the world around us. Modern narratives reflect real-life issues, such as identity, social change, and technology, making stories more relatable and impactful. They challenge traditional storytelling by using fresh structures, diverse perspectives, and interactive formats. Whether through annual reports, films, posters, radio ads, or digital media, these stories connect us emotionally and bring meaning to our experiences. The Modern Narrative offers a platform to explore these ideas.
Shaping how social impact organizations tell their stories can make a significant difference. It affects how they connect with audiences, inspire action, and drive change. With tools like strategic communications, brand films, radio, print, and digital media, The Modern Narrative crafts compelling narratives that amplify voices and make work more impactful.
We create a space where storytelling meets purpose, enabling organizations to move beyond sharing what they do and truly engage people in why it matters. We believe in a perfect balance. A dynamic and engaging style draws people in, sparks energy, and makes narratives feel fresh and inspiring. At the same time, sensitivity ensures stories honor their subjects, keeping empathy and impact at the forefront.
With The Modern Narrative’s approach, social impact organizations won’t just tell stories. They will shape perspectives, drive conversations, and foster real connections. We are here to work with you to secure funding through powerful narratives.
OUR PROCESS
Visibility for Funding Check
Your online and offline presence and perception play a huge role in how much funding you receive. A brand audit helps organizations see themselves clearly. It reveals how they communicate, how they are perceived, and where they can improve. We dive into their messaging, visuals, and audience engagement, identifying gaps and opportunities so they can connect more effectively with the people who matter.
Diagnosing the Gap
Before offering solutions, we listen. Every organization has unique challenges, whether it’s unclear messaging, low engagement, or difficulty attracting funding. By understanding their pain points, we can pinpoint exactly what is missing and what needs to change
Research-backed Approaches
Great ideas need solid foundations. We use data and research to shape solutions that are both creative and strategic. Audience behavior, industry trends, and real-world insights help us craft communications that are compelling and genuinely effective.
Custom Solutions for Impact
Every organization is different, and so are their needs. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all strategies. Instead, we design tailored solutions, whether it’s brand storytelling, digital engagement, or donor outreach, that fit their mission and amplify their impact.
Capacity Building
At The Modern Narrative, we don’t just develop a communications strategy. We ensure its seamless execution. We work closely with social impact organizations, equipping their teams with the skills and tools needed to implement effective storytelling, messaging, and outreach, ensuring lasting impact beyond our collaboration.
Strategic Communications
Strong storytelling is the key to engagement. We craft clear, compelling narratives that help organizations connect with their audience, whether through social media, websites, brand films, or PR. It’s all about communication that feels natural, inspiring and drives action.
