One of the boldest stories ever written was authored by five very different individuals. It was a shocking piece of writing that offered a vision of what life could be. The authors knew that their story was a dynamic epic. No ending was planned. This story experienced 86 changes in search of perfection. It was written, re-written, argued, shortened, lengthened, and shortened again. Debate ensued. Tempers flared. It was not perfect. But the authors agreed it was a story worth telling. Ultimately just 56 individuals, believed so strongly in the story that they signed their names to it. These 56 were the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Stories have power. And at their finest, they provoke action, define causes, and inspire change. What is your story? Are you telling it in a way that is so powerful and persuasive that 56 people would sign their names to it? And could your story - as it's being told today - garner a coveted 57th signature? These are the questions that Signature 57 - a strategic communications firm based in Philadelphia - encourages brands, corporate partners, and nonprofits to ask and answer. Our commitment is to helping our clients shape more powerful narratives that can transform the world, and their organizations, in ways both big and small.
