Hey. This is an exciting day! We’re officially launching as Guenther Heyer, a new 50/50 partnership after 21 years as Guenther Creative.

From Kurt: The change recognizes the incredible talent and promising future of Charlie Heyer. He’s a gifted cinematographer, editor, strategist, and is beloved by clients from local nonprofits to international companies. Now more than ever, we need stories of hope and courage that can inspire lasting change. Charlie and I and our team are committing to this work at a new level, bringing award-winning, integrated campaigns to issues that make life better for all of us. The issues are the same, whether it’s human rights, working families, climate, community, education, health, and new technology. The urgency is unparalleled.

From Charlie: Now more than ever, we need to feel the power of coming together by celebrating the people working in community to drive positive change. My partner Kurt and I are fortunate to have worked alongside some heroic folks. I’m energized by our collaborations because they’re both passionate and pragmatic. What needs to be said? Who needs to hear it? How will we connect the right stories to the right people and help support the right action?

Kurt has been at this for 40 years. In our work together over the last six, I’ve had the privilege of helping amplify the success of positive change makers from local to global. We’ve headlined record-breaking nonprofit funding campaigns, helped tip the balance in national elections, amplified winning culture for global companies, helped pass breakthrough climate law, supported workers’ rights, human rights, and more.

And in a lot of ways it feels like we’re just getting started. That’s why we’re forming Guenther Heyer, to build on our winning approach to message strategy and storytelling to help more change makers grow their impact.
