In an age of content saturation, people are unfollowing, unsubscribing and let’s face it, zoning out like never before. At Verified, we believe that the most persuasive content is the kind you stumble upon. The kind that comes from organic storytelling, resulting in earned media. And that means higher levels of both engagement and trust.
Quality, creativity, and authenticity.
We are a collective of experienced communications experts, former journalists, and creative powerhouses. We have resumes chock-full of experience crafting, shaping, and sharing captivating narratives with influential audiences for the world’s leading brands and startups. And besides all that, we have an entrepreneurial, client-focused spirit, which translates to, “we give a damn.”
