Connecting Your Audience With The Natural World

Climate change. Deforestation. Pollution. Overfishing and poaching. Our planet and species are buckling under the weight of unsustainable consumption and resource use. But some among us—the environmental campaigners, conservationists and technologists—struggle to turn the tide. Their message needs to resonate with allies, donors and the general public to accomplish this noble work. That’s our specialty.

Meanwhile, scientists in the field and labs around the world push the boundaries of human knowledge. Their work, the toil of curious optimists, offers hope for a better world when discoveries trickle out into society. From biology and genetics to earth science and chemistry, StoryFlow speaks the language of science to translate complex topics for any audience.

The Juggernaut, a new publication chronicling the rise of South Asia and its diaspora, wanted a sharply written sci/tech feature on the accuracy of ancestry testing for this population. StoryFlow used its science fluency to conduct a number of interviews with experts and customers. The editors called the resulting 3,000-word piece, “a fascinating tale of identity and science.”

New environmental campaigners Mighty Earth were winning significant victories in their efforts to hold companies accountable for damaging forests and oceans. Their messaging supporting specific programs was strong and attention-grabbing.

But they needed their target audience of government officials and grantmaking organizations to recognize their name. So we worked with our partners at The No. 29 Communications to develop an organizational storytelling strategy. The process involved numerous interviews, competitive landscape research, defining target audiences and creating a communications plan that included possible editorial and thought leadership content.

Mighty Earth now had a defined path to build its brand.
