Writing should inspire, persuade and, ultimately, move a reader.
It has to dig past key messages. It has to tell a story. It has to feel human.
This is how organizations build and maintain trust.
We are proud to tell the stories of these and many other organizations
We are a pair of seasoned communications pros who take a journalistic approach to develop stories that demonstrate impact, built trust, elevate profiles and shape opinions.

Earned companies and executives major industry awards
Developed brand messaging and stories
Interviewed important stakeholders
Understory has been an invaluable partner to Victim Services Toronto, bringing our work to life through powerful writing—whether it’s our annual report, award nominations, or speeches that truly resonate. They just get us, and their words help us honour the people and stories at the heart of everything we do."
