origins
A radioactive spider bite? Escape from a dying planet? Not quite so grandiose…but every hero has their defining moment.
Matt Nagy’s came in 2004 when he completed a feature documentary about, fittingly, the origins of his Boy Scout troop. At the premier, he saw people emotionally moved by his work. It was then he realized that his true superpower was the art of communication.
mission
We believe we’re drawn to origin stories because we want to see how ordinary becomes extraordinary. That’s the moment we want to help you achieve.
At Origin Story, we know that effective communication begins with your audience's understanding of your brand. They want to know what makes you tick, why you make certain decisions, and why you do what you do. The more your audience knows where you’re coming from, the more likely they’ll embrace your brand.
With each project, our goal is to provide creative solutions that effectively connect your brand with your audience.
