About Our Work

Ted’s deep understanding of organizing, technology, fundraising and what inspires people to act makes him a reliable partner on a diverse range of storytelling and content projects. That’s why we partnered with Bright+3 to successfully lead so many digital content projects for MobLab. Ted’s dedication to mission and commitment to excellence (for both his projects and the sector at large!) makes him a great person to work with.

― Michael Silberman, Mobilisation Lab

Ted is a uniquely gifted writer. He can reach a wide range of audiences with ease as he is able to tell a beautiful story with great sincerity and much heart. As an Executive Director of a young nonprofit with global impact, I found much confidence in working with Ted and Bright+3. I’m working with an exceptionally competent and caring person who is a true expert in his field and never loses sight of the bigger picture.

― Firuzeh Mahmoudi, United for Iran

We teamed up with Bright+3 on a large scale strategy assessment to identify the best tactics and tools to build political power at the state and federal level for one of the largest advocacy organizations focused on human rights. The team’s grasp for leveraging the best traditional and digital organizing tools was instrumental in helping to deliver a robust strategic assessment and plan that the organization uses as a roadmap to stronger advocacy work across the United States.

― Allyson Kapin, Rad Campaign

Ted’s impact on our organization has been significant. He worked with us as communications director, content strategist, writer, web developer and social media manager As a narrative strategist, Ted brings tremendous insights and expertise on narrative as a field and its relationship to movement-building.

― Nadia Awad, Narrative Initiative
