1a professional storyteller.
Welcome to Bard. We are a movement studio based in Minneapolis, working globally.
We have generated significant movement for over 100 organizations in the last decade: mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people into events, setting the course strategically for one of Forbes’ fastest-growing companies in America, and raising significant capital for nonprofit organizations. We know how to turn a brand into a movement
— and we’d love to prove it to you.
Every sprint has the potential to expand into ongoing partnership — a senior brand leader in the room, directing the rollout of everything we built.
We work the way we always have: rooted in real relationship. We learn your people, your pace, and what you’re actually building — then lead accordingly. Not a vendor on retainer. A partner who is genuinely invested in where you’re going.
Monthly retainer — three-month minimum — limited to a few brands at a time, by design.

Jeremy was brought on as Brand Manager for a national campaign spanning more than 4,000 partners across all 50 states, building toward a generation-defining event on the National Mall in Washington, DC. He created the name and the brand, led the teams generating media for the duration of the campaign, and spoke at the Montage Laguna Beach at an event that raised $4M. The campaign gathered 350,000 people before the event was shut down at 5pm — well before its expected peak attendance. The event brand we developed, Together, went on to gather hundreds of thousands more people over the next three years.
“We worked with Jeremy when we were first launching our brand, and his guidance was invaluable. He helped us define our audience, establish key partnerships, and expand our Bible product line. He provided insightful advice on approaching new projects and connected us with industry experts who were essential to our progress. His strategic thinking and expertise was instrumental in shaping our brand’s direction. The support he offered was thorough and deeply impactful. Jeremy was a crucial partner in our early success.”
Brian Chung“Jeremy has a gift for creating space to allow people and ideas to thrive. The marketing team at BibleProject felt welcomed, engaged, and inspired during our time together. We left with full hearts and a fresh conviction around the work we get to do. If you want to reconnect your team’s work to their head and their hearts, I highly recommend working with Jeremy.”
Camden McAfee“Working with Jeremy and his team at Honest Studios is the real deal. Jeremy and I worked together for more than a decade and significant movement ignited from our combined efforts. Jeremy isn’t about typical marketing tactics. He and his team are strategists and storytellers that understand people and connect with them to create movement.”
