Who we serve

Orgs and individuals whose story lives scattered across recordings, talks, articles, social media posts & emails. Brands who need better branding, and businesses who need more reach.

Agents gather, research, assemble, collate and assess existing content and content opportunities. After human review and revision, agents draft material for hand curation. Every piece passes through a major part of what I've been doing my whole career: visual and graphic design, copywriting and creative writing, user experience and interface design.

Which quote leads, how a slide reads at a glance, where a post earns its next paragraph, what a reader needs on a phone. The same eye is on every product I ship, from a carousel to a website and informs the agents to improve their first draft abilities with every rep.

House Rules

  • Drafts from your own materialAgents draft titles, show notes, blog posts, quote cards and reels from what you've already said.
  • Curated by handEvery piece passes a designer and writer: what runs, what's cut, how it reads and how it looks.
  • Your words keptWe cut and frame, but we don't rewrite your voice. Quotes & testimonials run as stated.
  • Always human reviewNothing publishes until you approve it, and you read every quote first.

The basic flow

  1. Your material

    Recordings, conference talks, slide decks, white papers or notes: whatever already holds your thinking, we gather and organize it all for reference and best use.

  2. Agents draft & research

    Code transcribes; agents find the speakers, assess the topics and curate search-optimized 'complete thoughts' for promotion.

    From there, additional research, drafts of titles, summary, show notes, the blog post, quote cards and cut lists for reels, each checked against house rules before first presentation for human review.

  3. Curated by hand

    We pick what leads together, cut what doesn't work and ensure everything works with your brand, how slides read at a glance, what a reader needs most on a phone.

  4. You approve

    All content reviewed and approved by contact sheet and private draft before publishing.

    Explain what fails and we quantify the lesson for the agents to get right the next time through.

  5. Publish

    Podcast, site, blog, social - wherever you want to be.

Brand Case Study: Rockstar Blends

Rockstar Blends is our own product: botanical oils, a podcast, stage talks and a science blog. Everything here was written, designed and curated in house, and every tile opens the real page.

1Products and materia medica

Four blends, each with its own page. Behind them, a materia medica: one post for every botanical in the formulas, with its history, what the studies show and why it's in the bottle.

2Research

Long science posts for women and men in midlife: what the studies found, what they haven't measured yet, and a source for every claim.

3Social carousels

Square carousels for Instagram, built from blog posts, podcasts, product reviews and live events.
