We understand every side of the story.

Founded by Chris Frates, Storyline Group is built to help navigate your most consequential moments. We are a team of former journalists, public affairs leaders, campaign and government communicators and corporate advisers.

From the first conversation, clients partner directly with the people doing the work. We ask hard questions, pressure-test assumptions and build bespoke strategies around the audiences, moments and outcomes that matter most.
