STAYDRMN

Stories of impact told with soul.

A storytelling agency for impact brands. We humanize the people behind the work through documentaries, brand films, and brand platforms, made for the rooms where decisions get made.

01 Creative Strategy & Operations

We often start here. Before a camera comes out, we find the story, the people it has to reach, and the rooms where it needs to land. Then we build what carries it: roadmaps, production systems, archives, convenings.

  • Creative strategy
  • Roadmaps & storydecks
  • Production operations
  • Archives & intake systems
  • Convenings & live storytelling

02 Storytelling Campaigns

One campaign, many cuts. A documentary for the screening, a trailer for the gala, a sixty-second reel for the donor meeting, portraits for the wall. Each piece is made for the room where a decision gets made.

  • Documentaries
  • Brand films
  • Trailers & sales teasers
  • Stakeholder reels
  • Portrait collections & photography

03 Interactive Platforms

Work you can hold and work you can click through. In 2026 we printed our first magazine: sixty pages for fifteen years of Teach For America Alabama.

  • Zines & print
  • Websites
  • Interactive portfolios
  • Video brochures
