Meet the whole teamImpact Studio

What the board does

The Media Advisor Board reviews Impact Studio programming before it ships — story structure, production standards, accessibility and the ethics of telling a community's story. They meet quarterly as a group and take individual strategy sessions with the teams, nonprofits and founders we work with.

  • Story and narrative review for series, shorts and campaigns
  • Production planning: crew, budget, schedule and post workflow
  • Broadcast, streaming and delivery standards
  • Accessibility, inclusive casting and disability representation

Who a session is for

Bring a project that is real: a series in development, a documentary in the edit, a launch campaign, or a speaking platform you want to sharpen. Sessions are practical and specific — you leave with decisions, not homework.

  • Nonprofits and ventures building their own media
  • Impact Studio partners preparing a shoot or an edit
  • Founders and executives preparing for interviews or the stage

How a session runs

Pick an open 45-minute slot on an advisor's calendar, tell us what you want reviewed and note which materials you can send ahead. You get a calendar invite with a video link, and the advisor reviews your materials before the call.
