Telling the story of technology built for good.

Google invests in founders and nonprofits using technology to solve global challenges. We led the content strategy, stakeholder engagement, and storytelling that brought those founders to the forefront, driving visibility for two $25M Impact Challenges and a global accelerator program.

The challenge

Google Accelerator supports thousands of mission-driven startups across 12+ regions, and Google.org funds nonprofits worldwide. Their impact was real, but the stories behind it weren’t reaching the entrepreneurs, investors, media, and applicants who needed to hear them.

02
Our approach

Put the founders on camera.

We aligned internal teams, global entrepreneurs, VC networks, media, and Google leadership around one story: technology in the hands of the right people changes lives.

Testimonial
Google

A founder’s own story.

“Michael understands that the most powerful thing we can share is a founder’s own story. He led content strategy and stakeholder engagement for Google for Startups Accelerator across 12+ global regions, aligning our internal teams, VC networks, media, and leadership around one narrative. His Ideas to Reality series put founders using advanced technology on camera and generated millions of engagement points. He brought the same authenticity to two $25M Impact Challenges with Google.org, helping us reach the organizations doing the most important work.”
