hi!

Rachel Brethauer writes words that work.

I’m a strategic storyteller who helps film, arts, and cultural organizations — and the production companies that serve them — communicate their value and secure the support they deserve.

What’s my secret? An MFA in Television Writing and Producing. Six years teaching narrative storytelling at a top-ranked film school. Marketing leadership at Sundance Institute. Twenty years of making complex, important work sound as good as it actually is.

I’m especially good at:

Z

Translating creative and cultural work into narratives that move funders and audiences

Z

Finding your real brand voice (not the watered-down version)

Z

Strategic thinking that drives results

Z

Making marketing feel less gross
