Work

We seek impact in two distinct but related areas.

Publishing

We are a leading literary marketing agency with a special interest in emerging voices, independent publishers, and remarkable literature. We expand the public square.

Advocacy

We are a public purpose consulting agency that shapes and shares stories of environmental, social and economic justice. We elevate the desire for change.

Our clients include: Not for Profits, Indigenous Nations, Municipalities, Media Outlets, Filmmakers, Festivals, Scientists, Artists and Authors.

We understand the intricacies of industries and communities we are part of. And we know the important nuances that govern storytelling.

Zg works with our clients in different ways, offering services on a project-by-project basis or becoming a long-term partner that collaborates seamlessly with your in-house team.

As a PR person who owned the biggest agency in Vancouver I am very picky about the PR people who work for me. I would hire Zg Stories again without hesitation. They are thoughtful, professional and effective.

We engaged Zoe and her team to help us to highlight a cause as well as to share the stories of individual companies. We were thrilled with the results and the breadth of coverage we received. Zg Stories is professional and effective. They provided an exceptional level of customer service, including additional support in the form of coaching and media training. Zoe and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with!
