✨ I’m excited to share an opinion piece I wrote for small.news, exploring how authentic storytelling will thrive over hype in 2026.

For years, businesses and nonprofits have heard the same advice:
post often, sell more, and maintain constant visibility.

But as passionate storytellers working in video, we’re seeing something different.

Audiences aren’t responding to louder.
They’re craving authentic stories that genuinely reflect a brand’s identity and purpose. Clear communication resonates, capturing heart & minds more effectively than volume alone ever could.

That shift inspired this piece.

If you’re building a business or leading a nonprofit and thinking about how your story shows up on screen, I think this will resonate.
