Storyfirst Media

Our Story

In the early days of 2007, the world of marketing and business was on the cusp of a paradigm shift. The meteor of change was hurtling towards the advertising industry, and companies needed to adapt quickly to survive. Traditional marketing approaches, rooted in features and benefits, were rendered obsolete. The rise of YouTube and the iPhone gave consumers unprecedented control over marketing channels, and businesses had to find new ways to stand out in an attention economy.

Our Founders and the Birth of StoryFirst Media

At this pivotal moment in history, our founders, film production professionals and traditional agency experts, saw the need for a new approach. They recognized that businesses needed to focus on finding differentiators that consumers would notice in an attention economy. Audiences wanted respect, and the key to getting it was through respect for the audience. Our founders, driven by a passion for storytelling and a desire to create meaningful connections between businesses and their audiences, set out to create a new kind of marketing agency.

Our Approach to Storytelling

At StoryFirst Media, we believe that character is behavior. As the Dark Knight says in the 2005 film Batman Begins, "It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me." We focus on what we do, not just what we say. We believe that businesses must establish trust through behavior, not just words. This simple yet powerful philosophy has guided our approach to marketing and storytelling.

Our Film Projects

We have worked on a range of film projects, from a sports documentary about Brett Favre's controversial divorce from the Green Bay Packers to a true crime documentary currently in development with a New York-based production company. Our documentaries have been shown at film festivals throughout the country and have been broadcast on PBS. We are proud of our work and believe that film can be a powerful tool for marketing and storytelling.
