ABOUT PLUS ONE.

 

Culture is infrastructure.

PLUS ONE society is an Emmy Award–winning cultural strategy + experience architecture firm working across sports, entertainment, media, and civic life.

We help brands, institutions, and leaders understand the cultural moment and build the stories, partnerships, and experiences that move people, resources, and ideas.

Culture shapes what we value, who gets heard, where resources move, and what we believe is possible.

Our work lives there.

Across strategy. Story. Partnerships. Talent. Experience.

TWO DECADES INSIDE CULTURE

For more than 20 years, we’ve worked across sports, entertainment, media, and culture, including work with the NFL, NBA, Amazon Studios, ESPN, IMG, Common, and Represent Justice.

Our work has generated more than $40M in media value, secured more than $5M in aligned funding, and reached hundreds of millions of people.

We’ve worked in boardrooms and communities, on national stages and behind the scenes. That range shapes how we see the work and what we know to look for.

Matt Kenny
Matt KennyVP of Affiliate Sales
"We could have spent years trying to manufacture a fraction of the expertise that Kristen brought to the table and partnership. We had a vision for the impact we wanted to make in the lives of system-impacted individuals and families but needed Kristen's talents, experience, grit and touch in order to get there. She is a giant in the space and we are indebted for her contributions to the Celtics organization and Boston community!"

"The best part of working with Kristen as the Producer of COMMON’s Imagine Justice Community show in Sacramento CA, was her ability to anticipate what needed to be done and handle it, before I even knew it! We made history with the rally and free concert for 30,000 people in front of the State Capitol to support criminal justice reform. And we could NOT have done it without Kristen’s expertise and leadership."

OUR METHOD.

 

Culture moves when narrative, power, and distribution align.

The PLUS ONE Method™ is how we read a cultural moment, find the leverage, and build what can carry the work forward.

➕POSITION WITH PURPOSE

Find the strongest position.
We look at audience, context, power, perception, and opportunity.

➕ LEAVE LEGACY THROUGH LANGUAGE

Give people language they can carry.
We shape narratives that help people understand an idea, share it, and act on it.

➕ UPLIFT UNAPOLOGETIC STORYTELLING

Protect the truth of the story.
Cultural fluency and emotional intelligence shape how we tell stories and whose experiences are centered.

➕ STRATEGIZE FOR SYSTEMIC SCALE

Build what the idea needs to travel.
We connect narrative, partnerships, talent, experiences, distribution, and institutions around a shared direction.

WHAT GUIDES US.

 

How we work matters.

➕Context matters
History, power, place, and people shape every assignment.

➕ People are not props
Community, talent, and lived experience are never decoration.

➕ Power should be named
We consider who decides, who benefits, who is heard, and who is missing.

➕ Emotional intelligence is strategic intelligence
What is unsaid can matter as much as what is said.

➕ Care and rigor belong together
Ambitious work should not require extractive ways of working.

➕ Think beyond the moment
Attention is temporary. What the work creates should have a longer life.

WHO WE PARTNER WITH.

 

PLUS ONE works with organizations and leaders whose decisions shape culture.

  • Sports leagues, teams, and talent ecosystems

  • Global brands
  • Cultural institutions and foundations
  • Athletes, artists, and influential public figures
  • Executive and leadership teams

They tend to call us when the opportunity is significant, the stakeholders are complex, the cultural stakes are high, or the usual playbook no longer fits.
