Telling stories since before storytelling was  a thing.

If our world was made of construction paper, storytelling would be the glue. Stories help us better understand our world. The good ones entertain, but the great ones stir action. We’ve been sharpening our storytelling skills since 2002, and we are proud to be recognized as one of the top agencies in Boston. Keep scrolling to learn more about our approach.

Put some heart into it

At Small Army, we help companies connect with the heart and soul of their brand, which we call the moral of the story. Bigger than any tagline or campaign idea, the moral is a core truth that can’t be disputed. Why? It’s based on beliefs your company, employees, and audience all share.

Home is where the hall is

If there’s a better place to nurture great ideas than a hall of horticulture, we’d love to see it. The historical building we call home has ceilings tall enough to house a giant sequoia because, well, it’s a horticultural hall.

Small Army for a Cause

In an effort to use our storytelling skills to the max, we created a cancer-crushing, do-gooding, nonprofit organization called Small Army for a Cause.

Be Bold, Be Bald!

Our most visible efforts to-date have been through Be Bold Be Bald, an award-winning movement we created for solidarity in the battle against cancer. Formed when Small Army’s co-founder died of cancer in 2007, Be Bold Be Bald has raised nearly a million to support 50+ cancer organizations.
