You’ve got a story. We find it, shape it and tell it in fresh, unique ways.

Whether you’re a real estate services company or a not-for-profit arts organization, we create narratives to accomplish your goals–from getting more customers, raising cash, to motivating employees and improving community relations.

We are a communications company that partners with boutique firms and individuals to deliver cost effective branding, communication and web services.  We leverage your touchpoints: brochures, websites, videos, even department memos and invoices, because everything you do creates narrative. We tell the story you want told.

We have two other divisions:

Social Responsibility: We create shared value for organizations, the community and your neighborhood. We help companies with their social responsibility activities as well as assist not-for-profits in a variety of communication areas. We align strategic priorities to maximize impact.

Press: This is a new division of Against the Grain Communications taking advantage of the digital disruption in publishing.
