Where we can help
"Just get it down on paper, and then we’ll see what to do with it."
So said Maxwell Perkins to one of his authors. Effie Street Creative takes that approach when necessary but prefers the opposite one — establishing your goals up front to save you time and money. Our team has over 25 years’ experience helping clients assess and meet their content objectives before they get things on paper (or film), including at our parent company Effie Street Filmworks. Let us put our knowledge to work for you.
Enterprise communications
We provide end-to-end editorial services, from idea conception to final rollout. We can step in at any point or manage the entire project for you, whether it be a survey report, a suite of articles, a video series — you name it.
While our approach to your material can be as cut-and-dried as you like, we believe that the most compelling communications entertain while they also inform.
Television and film
No narrative nut is too tough for us to crack, whether it’s distilling 80 hours of footage into a 22-minute TV episode or creating momentum in static scenes. We can fix those problems for you in the editing room. Better yet, we can help you avoid them altogether if you engage us early in the storytelling process.

Meet the founders: Cecily Dixon & Shawn Paper
Worlds collide
East Coast publications gal meets West Coast movie/television guy.
They join forces. Effie Street Creative is born.
Shawn Paper
Shawn brings to Effie Street Creative his love for visual storytelling. Nothing excites him more than translating the magic of pitch-perfect writing and performances for the screen.
Cecily Dixon
Cecily brings to Effie Street Creative her lifelong love of words and the writerly alchemy that makes them transcend the page. The New York Public Library's Rose Main Reading Room, pictured here, is as transcendent as it gets in Cecily's book (in Shawn's too, as it happens).
