Stories wanted. People who have a need for stories. People who like stories. People who wish they were in a story. OK, everyone is wanted!

So come on down….my company has just launch a joint venture, Startled Cat, and I can’t help doing a little self-promotional spinning around and waving my arms to get your attention.

Startled Cat is the perfect fit with the broader work we do at Remedy in brand strategy and social, mobile and immersive media. By launching Startled Cat, we’ve got ourselves a studio focused on the evolving and specific discipline of immersive story and its use to facilitate change, community and engagement.

I’ll let the stunning and fascinating press release speak for itself.

And then hang tight. I’ll get all meta and conceptual about the virtues of story soon enough.
