Shape History - Expert Impact

Mike Buonaiuto,

Shape History

Met with Chris Gorell Barnes

A Creative Studio For Social Impact

Shape History creates content & campaigns for brands & organisations that drive growth, fundraising & real-world impact.

We believe to shape history you need to build a people-powered movement, that not only enjoys and shares content, but creates it – so we’re built on a global network of creatives and distribution strategists, passionate about tackling our generation’s most crucial issues.

To achieve this, our content emotionally engages an audience, backed up with distribution strategies and digital platforms that help mobilise to drive action.
From the big to the small – we use creativity for a cause – with a direct impact on your organisation.

Mike tells us what SHAPE History do and where they’ll be in five years time in this short video.

Our session with Chris helped us discover areas for growth with our Creative Studio for Social Impact, which we’d not considered before. In all stages of running a business, learning is crucial, but we certainly appreciate how helpful learning is in the early stages. Thank you!

Mike Buonaiuto, Founder of Shape History
