Who We Are
Based in Toronto and Cape Town, Stubborn Hope is an audience-first creative studio that produces purposeful digital media content.
We are a team of audio producers, filmmakers, copywriters and journalists dedicated to shattering stereotypes created by standardized media moulds. At our core, we are honest, creative, bold, culturally diverse, collaborative and technical.
We craft engaging podcasts, cinematic content and interactive websites for organizations and individuals striving to create an equitable and sustainable world.
And we have rigorous project management, relentless drive, creative ambition and technical capability to pull it off.
We choose our clients the way we choose friends because we believe fruitful collaboration isn’t just sharing ideas; it’s sharing life. We dive deep, listen, ponder, and invest in our partners.
For us, the measure of success goes beyond consumer engagement. It’s the richness of the journey that gets us there.
Storytelling is the currency of human connection. Whether over coffee, around a campfire or depicted on a screen, stories captivate us and can move us to change our behaviour or think differently.
We use this word a lot. It’s a reminder that making something great doesn’t happen by accident. No story tells itself. No concept springs from thin air. No camera designs the right shot. So we have assembled a team of creatives and a roster of collaborators who are driven-from-within makers, relentlessly sweating the details.
