Family businesses.
A multigenerational family business is something to be proud of and deserves to be celebrated. As the business passes from one generation to the next (or is sold), its story can easily be lost. CONTEXT Studios helps protect and preserve your family business legacy.
-
Capturing your family business story preserves the knowledge, values, and lived experiences that define your legacy.
As a cornerstone of your family's intellectual capital — one of the Five Capitals essential to long-term wealth and well-being — your story strengthens continuity, fosters shared wisdom, and ensures that the insights of today inspire the leaders of tomorrow.
By documenting your journey, achievements, and lessons learned, you create a lasting record that future generations can build upon.
-
Multigenerational family businesses, family enterprise leaders, and enterprising families.
Marketing, social media, and PR leaders supporting family businesses.
Family office advisors, wealth managers, estate planners, and other trusted advisors.
-
Engage employees & key stakeholders.
Feature prominently on your company website, intranet & social media platforms.
Showcase at product launches, business gatherings, retirements, memorials & other key events.
Share with your family to create a lasting legacy and preserve for future generations.
-
When family business leaders commemorate an anniversary or milestone, it often turns into a book-writing project — a process that can take months or even years.
While the result may be beautiful, it often goes unread.
Today’s audiences engage more with video and audio, preferring stories they can watch on their phones or listen to on the go.
That’s why we capture your family business story in just one day, producing a high-end documentary that is instantly accessible, engaging, and designed for how today’s leaders share and consume stories.
