Who we are:
The story of Better Together Agency.
Our founder's story
Our Founder and CEO faced racism and systemic barriers throughout her own career. She watched bias try to block people doing important work. So she built an agency that uses communications and technology to help our partners cut through those barriers and reach the people who need to hear from them.
That’s how Better Together Agency was born.
We are a values-led agency built on the belief that strategic storytelling and responsible AI can connect people, challenge old thinking and drive change through mission-driven campaigns.
Communications that achieve equity
Stories have power. We harness it.
As a result, we help organizations globally build culturally-informed communications. Our messages are respectful of all communities and designed to resonate with your audience wherever they are.
What sets Better Together Agency apart?
Equity is our foundation
It’s not a service we offer; it’s who we are. Every strategy, every campaign, every conversation starts with a commitment to social equity.
Purpose over profits
We choose partners based on shared values and mission alignment, not just budgets. If your goal doesn’t match ours, we are not the right fit.
Authentic communication
We bring our authentic selves to work and expect the same from you. We insist on the truth; no corporate masks or performative messaging.
Impact and results
We measure success by the lives changed, communities lifted, and systems shifted. Everything else is just noise.
We are leaders in ethical AI
Our agency is AI-Forward, using tools to accelerate efficiency, productivity, and innovation.
Furthermore, we integrate advanced AI tools to develop campaigns and, crucially, address systemic biases in generative AI to ensure all communications are fair and accurate.
We publish leading research: The Biases in Generative AI Survey
Our agency conducts an annual Biases in Generative AI Survey, the industry’s most comprehensive study examining how bias impacts generative AI-driven communications. We survey communications professionals, technology leaders, and advocacy organizations to understand real-world challenges and solutions in responsible generative AI implementation.
