Lead with curiosity
We’ve got a lot of experience but there’s always more to learn. We love asking questions, trying new media technology solutions, and figuring out how to meet your needs.

Focus on collaboration
We know a lot about communications, but you’re the expert on what you do. And stakeholders are experts in how they experience your purpose. That’s why we’re committed to deep collaboration every step of the way.

We have an incredible amount of combined expertise. We draw from a team of pros who use best practices and meet or exceed professional standards. Social impact work is hard won. We make the most of your effort, time, and resources.
What we believe
Great communications must:
Connect deeply with the purpose of each project
Center communities and honor story subjects
Lead with compassion, and empathy
Create values-centered stories for meaningful connections
Leverage the Solidarity Dividend – benefits we gain when people come together across race and class (Heather McGhee, The Sum of Us)
Our name
The Sum is greater than the parts. That's true for strategic messaging and all of your communications. It’s also true for our collective efforts beyond individual action.
The Circle is how we've shared stories since the beginning of time. Even in a digital landscape, that same need for co-created meaning and connection exists today.
The Ampersand (&) ties us together and moves the narrative. "Yes, and" is the improv directive for maximum engagement.
These concepts are core to compelling communications. Let us show you how.
Redefine your purpose and improve your strategic messaging for greater impact.
