I was dreading this talk. It was pretty convinced that it was going to be pretty shitty, and working with you these last couple of weeks, Holly has just been fantastic. It’s given me a sense of the possible and got me really excited about it, and it’s helped me more clearly see, thanks to you that there is something of value to say and share.

Amanda and Eliza expertly led our diverse crew through an engaging and highly focused process where our diverse crew got really clear about our values and identity. I felt confident that we had the absolute best team on the job, and their responsiveness and humility went a long way during the intense start up phase. Our work with LightBox is embedded at all levels of our organization, in our pitches and meetings with parents outside of schools, our internal professional development trainings, and foundation proposals.

While working at the Melville Charitable Trust we partnered with LightBox Collaborative for two key projects, which both involved brand development and visual identities. Our experiences were collaborative, creative and fun. By using a range of games and creative brainstorming exercises we did a lot of meaningful work with LightBox in a short time, and we were thrilled with the results.

Working with LightBox Collaborative has transformed the way my organization views strategic communications. Alexis and Amanda have a way of simplifying complex concepts in clever, sharp and compelling ways while always keeping larger organizational goals in mind. Their group facilitation generates productive and bonding team work thanks to their warmth and approachability. They have the very rare ability of making daunting tasks feel not just manageable- but enjoyable. I can’t recommend working with them highly enough!
— Abby Yim, Executive Director, Integrated Community Services
In addition to producing some critically important tools for us, LightBox has been an invaluable thought partner to our organization around our communications and messaging work. They worked with us to craft messaging that we’ve been able to deploy for positive media coverage even in challenging political contexts and tough times for our issues. The team, and Amanda Cooper in particular, bring a thoughtfulness, expertise and joy to each collaboration that have not only made the work products wildly successful, but a pleasure to collaborate around.
