Origin Story
3:12pm. November 9, 2018. 30 Rockefeller Plaza. New York City.
Executives were sitting through a presentation on NBCUniversal’s new Peacock streaming service that would shape the company’s next 10 years.
The stakes could not be greater. Neither could the yawns.
Despite months of analysis, the CFO was reaching for his iPhone by slide 4.
The attention economy had come for Corporate America.
The problem wasn’t the analysis, it was the narrative.
I knew there was a better way to engage execs. I just didn’t know how until I watched John Oliver make municipal bonds engaging at live taping of Last Week Tonight.
If Oliver could light up public financing, I figured I could do the same for corporate pitches.
So I took storytelling and comedy classes to learn how to move audiences.
Before long, I was writing for TV, The New York Times and stage, transforming dense topics into narratives that commanded attention.
That experience became the foundation for Story Knight: a communications firm that turns complex ideas into compelling narratives that win deals.
We combine Wall Street analytical rigor with Hollywood storytelling craft to deliver messages that ideas don’t just make sense, they sing.
