Press42
We are a strategic communication agency that specializes in the use of storytelling.
We help organizations worldwide use the power of story to achieve their business goals.
We take storytelling beyond the realm of marketing and export it to all the different business processes.
Press42 originally started as a company where we tried to help organizations reach the right industry journalists worldwide. We quickly realized that, while reaching the media was indeed painful, the real problem was the quality of most stories out there.
While anyone enjoys a good story, few people know how to design great and powerful stories. We found out that, while storytelling is obvious in PR, its potential and usefulness for internal communications is even greater.
As we developed our skills in helping others understand the realm of storytelling, we started applying it to many organizational fields. Some examples include: open innovation projects, agile and lean implementations, human resources, corporate culture, change management, community management or brand reputation.
Storytelling has become our identity and helping our worldwide customers in an increasingly complex interconnected society is our mission.
Our values are our DNA. It defines our lives and strategies. The following are the values we live and work by.
We trully believe in win-win situations. We strive to always take projects that deliver "Win" to both customers, collaborators and employees.
We're all for challenge. We don't dable in the usual, but more on the fringes. We like being challenged!
Building relationships is in our culture. We believe complex problems only get solved by collaborating. We want to create long lasting relationships with our customers to deliver solutions for their long-term problems.
Life is short and we want to have as much fun as possible. We believe in fun but challenging projects that deliver the best solutions to our customers. Expect humor, WOWness and weirdiness from us.
Interdisciplinary team with years of experience telling big stories. From product design, to growth hacking, our team has tackled the full spectrum.
