EXTRAS NEEDED! 🎥🎬

We're filming a project on Wednesday, June 24 in Hibbing.

We're looking for about 15-20 folks of all ages who aren't afraid of a little dancing to some polka music. Our client is offering swag and we'll provide lunch to folks who can help. This will be about a two to three hour commitment midday.

If you're interested, please email [email protected] with your name, age, location, contact info and any other fun facts or questions. Only those who email will be considered.

Storytelling is a system - not just a skill.

Story North co-founder Kevin Jacobsen opened the United Ways of Minnesota 2026 Summer Conference Tuesday at Giants Ridge, sharing frameworks for building messaging that's consistent, scalable, and built to last.

We're grateful to our partners at the United Way of Northeastern Minnesota for opening the door to this opportunity.

More conversations like this, please!

For five years, Story North has helped tell the stories of organizations, businesses, and communities across Northeastern Minnesota.

Now we're looking for one story to tell next.

Someone who is quietly making this region better. Someone whose impact deserves to be documented, shared, and remembered.

We'll select one nominee and produce a short documentary celebrating their contribution to the Northland.

Who comes to mind? Nominate them today. Link in the comments.

We've had the privilege of sitting across from some remarkable people over the last five years.

This is what it looks like when you give a story the attention it deserves.

Zeitgeist came to Story North looking for a 15 second commercial.

We could have simply said let’s do it.

But we knew there was more to the story.

We spent time diving into the nonprofit’s goals and what we came up with was so much more.

We’re excited to share more soon!

The State of Minnesota awarded an $8.85 million bonding grant to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth to build the new Mission Engagement Center, a facility that will be operated by Union Gospel Mission Duluth.

We had the privilege of partnering with UGM last year to help them tell their vision story for the center. The goal wasn't to make things sound good.

It was about helping the people who believe in something deeply articulate it in a way that moves others to act. Grants get written. Votes get cast. Buildings get built.

Congrats to UGM and the entire Duluth community!
