Dr. Gerard Gibbons & Dr. Perry Bosmajian

We are delighted you are here.

We offer digital media services and tools to drive user engagement, compliance and behavior change in healthcare, marketing, learning, and business.

Is your story as powerful as your technology?

The Best Story Wins

Years ago, mealtimes in many homes meant story time – retellings of work experiences, report cards and bargains. When friends, uncles and aunts came to visit and mealtimes were longer, there was more storytelling, gossiping and laughing. (And yes, crying and arguing were part of those stories, too.)  (more…) Be Sociable, Share! Tweet

The Journey Begins Before the Uniform Comes Off

Joe read the Go Army ads and enlisted. He’s a good guy. Not Harvard or Stanford material, but a hard worker, a guy who knows that courage is acting in spite of fear.

Emotive Storytelling: Thwart the Negativity Bias

We face issues in isolation. Despite the fact that our healthcare system, mental health treatment models and behavioral health interventions are often face-to-face centered or group support-focused, most people face their issues alone. Problems are most challenging when people are in their own space, place and moment. That means without their spouse, friends or healthcare […]
