our work
HANDCRAFTED STORIES. SHARED WITH CARE.
We help brands and businesses stand out and connect with their communities by telling their stories, whether in creative positioning and messaging, traditional media placements, or on social media. But many businesses offer these same services. What makes us different is the care we put into our work and the creativity we use in doing it: As small business operators, we understand how to be smart, savvy and supportive advisors to not only improve your brand’s visibility, but also its viability. We take pride in providing hands-on, senior-level counsel to all of our clients, and being known as the agency that thoughtfully considers — and sometimes even helps to define — a client’s goals when managing their PR strategy.

From relationship management and branding partnerships to social media, grassroots marketing and pop-up experiences, we offer a range of strategic communications services to position and market your business with tracked, measurable results. Taken collectively, convergence is our sweet spot: We bring together traditional PR practices with modern applications, deep experience with a still-scrappy work ethic, and partnerships across the industry to carve out new stories and perspectives to help you stand out.

FOUNDER
CHARISSA BENJAMIN
How I Start My Day: A run, at least two cups of Zeke’s Mexico Chiapas (French press only please) and Wordle. Oh, and scrambling to get my children to school on time
Where You’re From: Wadadli, aka the beautiful island of Antigua
Favorite City To Visit: London
Favorite Hobby/Pastime: Traveling and discovering new places and great food
You’d be surprised to know: I used to play the saxophone and speak French. Two skills I have since lost
Last Meal: A roast chicken with crispy potatoes and Gruner Veltliner. But it’s my last meal, so I’d also have a chicken roti from Cherril’s Restaurant in Antigua. If I survive the indulgence, I’d finish it off with a guava tart and crème brulée

NORA WORKMAN
How I Start My Day: Lots and lots of coffee, water, and a podcast while I get ready
Where You’re From: Charlottesville, Virginia
Favorite City To Visit: Seville, Spain has a special place in my heart
Favorite Hobby/Pastime: Reading, listening to podcasts, and catching up on any new and notable shows or movies
You’d be surprised to know: I've been a vegetarian for about ten years, give or take- I lost count somewhere along the way!
Last Meal: Since it's my last meal, I'd have to sample all the foods I love- an everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato from Bodo's Bagels in Charlottesville, a breakfast sandwich from Deli Zone in Boulder, and my favorite creamy avocado pasta with pine nuts. Clearly, I'm indecisive (and love carbs!)

How I Start My Day: A long walk with my corgi and a large iced coffee
Where You’re From: Winter Garden, Florida
Favorite City To Visit: Florence, Italy
Favorite Hobby/Pastime: Reading, traveling, and checking out new restaurants
You’d be surprised to know: I was in a few commercials (most notably, Snuggie) when I was young!
Last Meal: I’d travel back to Florence for the truffle pasta from Trattoria Za Za and strawberry cheesecake gelato from Edoardo.
