Today, we celebrate a milestone 20 years in the making. Two decades ago, Ed Heil took a leap of faith, leaving behind a career in sports journalism to tell a different kind of story—one that would eventually shape the heart of StoryTeller. What started as an idea grew into a team of passionate professionals dedicated to helping brands share their stories through inbound marketing—before social media existed, when people still read daily newspapers, and Mark Zuckerberg was just graduating college. The journey hasn't always been easy, but reaching our 20th year is a testament to the vision, hard work, and our incredible team members past and present who made it possible. We're deeply grateful to the many partners and clients who have trusted us with their stories and grown alongside us throughout these transformative decades. Here's to 20 years of storytelling, and to the countless stories yet to be told! ??

I'm excited to share my recent conversation on the power of storytelling in club marketing! I enjoyed joining Kyle Bradburn from Capstone Hospitality: Membership Sales Solutions to discuss how authentic storytelling transforms club marketing efforts. It was refreshing to connect with someone who shares many of my viewpoints on effective club marketing strategies. One principle I'm passionate about?is that every word matters. The language we choose across all platforms—from website copy, emails, landing pages, and social media—can engage, inspire, and convert prospective members. Your prospects want to be able to "see" themselves as a member of your community, and sharing member and staff stories is a terrific way to create new connections. Thanks, Kyle! .
