Ronaut Studio
About

Most organizations know what they do

Fewer can explain it in a way that means something to the people they're trying to reach.

Your voice stays yours. We just make it clearer.

We train teams on their editorial thinking, on engaging audiences with the messaging we develop together, and on using tools that help maintain sanity while coordinating often complex workflows.

We also train individuals on how to best create, deliver and amplify the speeches and presentations they make whether those are in large public forums or in small, intimate gatherings.

Throughout, we apply a deep storytelling understanding; an expertise in the tools and platforms needed to best manage, publish and track editorial; and a pride in training teams toward self-sufficiency.

Our Values

Quality over quantity

More content is rarely the answer. We focus on the right content, at the right moment, for the right audience.

Deliberation over speed

A strong narrative framework is how we increase velocity. Rushing to publish without one is how we muddle good ideas.

Story over format

Medium follows meaning. We work out what needs to be said, and what our audience prefers to consume, before deciding what media to say it in.

Depth over reach

Connecting meaningfully with the right audience matters more than thinly touching a large one.

Collaboration over prescription

Your voice stays yours. We work with your team, not at them.

Things we do and things we don't

Things we do

  • Develop your narrative framework
  • Develop your overarching editorial strategy
  • Collaborate on your pitch deck, talk or speech
  • Coach you on delivering them
  • Train your teams on editorial workflows and development

Things we don't

  • We won't create your social postsWe will build the editorial framing and engagement strategies you measure those posts against.
  • We won't produce your podcasts or videosWe will collaborate with your writers, editors, producers and directors so the work holds to your narrative framework.
Our Relationship with Artificial Intelligence

Ronaut Studio does not use AI to create content of any kind.

We do use artificial intelligence as a force multiplier for deep research across subjects, and as a coding assistant when building websites and automations.

When it comes to words, images, sounds, and designs, nothing we hand you is created by a machine.

He ran a media lab, served as the digital director of a global nonprofit, and taught graduate courses on storytelling, communications, and engagement strategies at Columbia University.
