I founded Almost Studio on a single belief: what if the world's most urgent issues reached the people who need to hear them?
The organisations working on the world's most urgent issues are often the ones least equipped to talk about them, not because the work isn't extraordinary, but because translating complexity into something that moves people, without losing what makes it true, is genuinely hard.
That's what we do.
Almost Studio works with NGOs, human rights organisations and purpose-driven teams to build social and digital strategies that make complex issues visible, accessible and deeply human.

Our Services
Good strategy starts with understanding — the issue, the audience, the moment. We work closely with each organisation to audit what exists, identify what's missing, and build a social and content strategy that's grounded in the work and designed for the platforms where the audience actually lives. This can be a focused one-month project or a year-long process. Some organisations take the strategy and run with it internally. Others stay with us for what comes next.
Many of the organisations we work with are building their social presence from the ground up, or stepping into it seriously for the first time. In these engagements, we come in and work alongside the team, learning the issues, building the workflows, creating the formats and templates, and developing the internal capacity that will carry the work forward long after we're gone. When organisations are ready to bring someone in-house, we help with that transition too.
Not every engagement is long-term. Sometimes there's a report coming out, a campaign launching, a conference with a story that needs telling. We come in on a project basis, building the social plan and creating the content to match. That includes video production, graphics and social copy, but also the thing that's harder to find: genuine story structure. We write scripts, shape narratives and bring the rigour of editorial storytelling to every piece of content we make, so the work doesn't just look good but actually says something.
Some of the most important conversations in the world happen at conferences and summits that nobody outside the room ever hears about. We change that. Almost Studio covers events on the ground, conducting interviews, capturing moments and creating social content in real time that makes the work visible to the audiences it was always meant for. We've covered the Oslo Freedom Forum, RightsCon, Women Deliver and more. What we've found is that when organisations give us real access, the results speak for themselves.
We run training sessions for teams, organisations and journalists on social media strategy, digital storytelling and social video, always tailored to the issues being worked on, the platforms in question, and the level the room is starting from. Training is also often woven into longer engagements as organisations build their own internal expertise.
Almost Studio's team is made up of young women of colour from across the world, working across multiple languages and cultural contexts. That's not incidental to the work but is the reason it lands. Moving a story across cultures is not the same as translating it, and we understand the difference. We've taken local stories and made them legible to global audiences, and brought global content into specific cultural contexts in ways that honor both the story and the people it's for.
How We Work
Everything we make starts with the audience: who they are, where they are, and what they actually need to understand the issues that affect their lives. We bring the rigour and instincts of journalism to social and digital work, which means we think in stories before we think in formats, and we think visually before we think in captions. And because we embed deeply with every team we work with, what we build doesn't leave when we do; it becomes something the organisation can own, sustain and grow.
We believe great storytelling isn't about producing more content, but about telling the right stories in the right way.
-
We work alongside the team, not above it. Every process involves regular check-ins, shared drafts and workshops that build internal confidence as we go.
-
We align with the timelines, goals and internal realities of every organization we work with. Nothing we build is off the shelf; it's designed around the team's actual capacity and culture.
-
We build in rounds, test early and refine as we learn. The approach evolves because the work demands it.
-
We leave behind more than content. The workflows, templates and systems we build are the organisation's to own long after the engagement ends.
