They’re finally here!! 🏆🏆

The Telly Awards have officially made their way to Comms Shop, and seeing them here makes this recognition feel even more special.

A Real Nightmare Story and The Climate Crisis Has No Borders are two very different pieces, but they share something fundamental to how we approach our work: putting people and their experiences at the center of stories about issues that are too often reduced to headlines, statistics, or policy debates.

These projects asked us to find creative ways to communicate the realities of environmental and climate injustice without losing sight of the people living those realities every day.

That work takes a lot of collaboration. Strategists, creatives, partners, advocates, and community voices all played a role in turning an idea into something that could move people and, hopefully, make them pay attention.

That’s what makes having these Tellys at The Shop so meaningful.

We’re incredibly proud of the work, grateful to our partners Moms Clean Air Force and Ecomadres, and especially proud of all the people who helped bring these stories into the world.

Now we just have to figure out where to put them. 🏆✨

The number is 100. But the story behind it is much bigger.

Eight years working alongside organizations fighting for immigrant families, clean air, voting rights, healthcare access, LGBTQ+ dignity, and economic justice.
One hundred partnerships, each one teaching us something we couldn't have learned any other way.

Like this: you can't tell stories if you don't understand them first. Before you ask someone to act, you have to sit with the people your work touches. Listen past the soundbite and care enough to get it right.

And maybe the most important one: the communities we serve don't live single-issue lives. In a moment designed to divide us, finding what we share is where the real power is.

100 partners later, we're still learning, still listening, and still building alongside the people doing the work.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their stories. 🤍

Your audience cares about your mission. So why aren't they taking action? đź‘€

Most organizations are great at building awareness. Fewer have a plan for what comes after: how to turn someone who just discovered your cause into a supporter, a volunteer, an advocate.

That's where the funnel comes in. Not the marketing funnel designed to sell products, but one adapted for the way movements actually work.
Our latest guide breaks down how organizations can use the marketing funnel to build stronger relationships with supporters, from first discovery to lasting involvement.

"Donate, share, register, and come to our event this Saturday."

We've seen that caption. And we get it, when everything feels urgent, everything becomes the ask.

But a CTA only works when it's clear, specific, timely, connected to something people care about, and matched to where they actually are in their relationship with you.

We broke down the five principles behind CTAs that actually move people.
Save this for your next campaign planning session.

Not all difficult comments are the same. đź’¬
A question, misinformation, a troll, and straight-up hate speech can all show up under the same post, and what you do with each one is completely different.

We put together a guide for social media managers who are tired of figuring it out in real time. It breaks down how to read what you're actually dealing with and what to do next without losing your mind or your community in the process.

Estamos en los últimos partidos rumbo a la gran final... y nosotros ya casi completamos el álbum. ⚽

Behind every campaign, there’s more than just a great idea. There’s strategy, creativity, ex*****on, and a team that knows when to attack, when to defend, and how to make every play count.

Los stats que definitivamente dieron para debate, las posiciones que tenían demasiado sentido (o no tanto), los traits que nos delataron un poquito y uno que otro guiño para quienes conocen al equipo de cerca.

Different positions but one mission.

Sin floro y sin muchas vueltas, porque somos personas que disfrutan construir buenas ideas junto a quienes quieren generar impacto.

As Pride Month comes to a close, we end by focusing on the power of language to shift how stories are told moving forward.

“Con estas guías, lo que se da realmente son ejemplos de cómo el lenguaje es importante, especialmente el lenguaje que se ha utilizado para excluir, abriendo maneras de hablar sobre las oportunidades de entender más a cada grupo que está siendo excluido.”
– Dee Tum-Mogue, National LGBTQ Task Force

Language is not neutral. It can reinforce exclusion, but also open pathways toward understanding across marginalized communities.

Part of this work is strengthening the connection between impacted communities and journalists so stories reflect lived realities with accuracy, care, and depth.

Dee reminds us that many journalists are ready to do this better, and that responsibility means creating the conditions for stories to be told with respect.

Following this moment at the end of Pride Month, we also look at what narratives continue to dominate and what continues to be left out.

“Las historias que más se comparten sobre personas trans migrantes q***r tienden a enfocarse en la violencia, y muchas noticias solo salen cuando alguien de nuestra comunidad ha muerto.”
– Sol Jiménez, Familia: Trans Q***r Liberation Movement

Too often, narratives about trans communities focus on violence or tragedy instead of our full humanity, resilience, joy, and everyday life.

In collaboration with the Transgender Law Center, resources have been developed to support journalists reporting on trans migrant communities, offering tools to challenge harmful framing and support more responsible storytelling.

Sol reminds us that how stories are told shapes how communities are seen.

As Pride Month comes to an end, we’re reflecting on who gets to tell our stories and how those stories shape the way our communities are seen.

“Cuando estás buscando testimonios sobre algo que ocurrió, es importante contar la historia completa de la persona, no solo partes. El lenguaje puede construirnos como víctimas o reflejar nuestra humanidad. Lo que pedimos es respeto, y eso empieza por cómo el periodismo enmarca nuestras historias.”
– Andrea Montañez, National LGBTQ Task Force

When stories are incomplete or shaped by fear, they don’t just misrepresent events, they shape how entire communities are understood.

Andrea reminds us that responsible storytelling begins with language and with the decision to represent people with dignity, context, and truth.
