Xtory is a studio that aims to deepen community engagement by centering people and process in developing high touch creative.

We develop rich visual communications work with people and audiences in mind—meeting them where they are and focusing on messaging that is rooted in access, connection, and value.

Our mission is to use visual storytelling to create greater meaning and human connection within the community. It is based on the idea that there is an appetite in today’s culture for more high-touch narrative about the world and people most closely around us. That the most impactful visual communication is not simply for marketing and metrics, but is most relevant when tied directly to meaning and people. Information doesn’t need to be efficiently consumed to be effective, but is most powerful when it brings purpose to all involved.

For that reason, we are committed to work that is intimate in both process and product. This means:

• a focus on topics and challenges that can be most meaningfully helped or supported by visual storytelling

• authentic exchange when problem-solving solutions, in which we prefer to work with real people in real conversation—and when possible, in real life.

• the development of real or indelible creative that can be physically interactive in nature—personally received and touched, and yet sustainable in production.

We believe that communication is fundamentally about being human and connected—and this is Xtory’s only goal in both creative process and creative outcomes.

This is how we keep it real.
