Helping you create and manage your own communications story.

 

Hourglass Media is an award-winning consultancy company that unveils the heart of your story through writing, resources, and more. While it sounds plain and simple, we realize that stories have ebbs and flows, as well as nuances and spotlit moments the world may or may not see.

We could put a long list of flowery words here in our About Us section. In fact, we have done that in years past. Now is the time to strip away the pomp and circumstance and just show you who we are so we can help you tell your own narratives. No frills, strings, or hidden agendas. Just all of us as we aim to have genuine, compassionate, worthwhile conversations. 

With more than one billion words behind our company and CEO’s name, we know that storytelling connects our past and future while allowing us to be present in the moment. For the last nearly eight years, we have been telling stories for nonprofit organizations, leadership coaches, small businesses, creatives, and a myriad of other sectors with key focuses in the mental health, families/children, and lifestyle spaces. We have earned Return on Investment (ROI) and Return on Expectations (ROE) results for our clients with customized approaches to projects and campaigns. 

We pour our entire hearts into each written piece, podcast episode, and integrated communications effort. We would love to work alongside you as you tell your own stories.
