About Praytell
Praytell is a creative communications agency built around the belief that original storytelling, unexpected ideas, and a firm aversion to anything remotely dull can genuinely shape culture. The agency partners with brands to craft timely, integrated, headline-worthy campaigns across social, earned, digital, experiential, and emerging platforms.
"Strategic minds and spirited hearts who believe original storytelling can shape culture."
Founded in 2013, Praytell is part of Project Worldwide and operates an in-house innovation lab called Swingset Studios. Its proprietary Creative That Earns process combines deep research, brand immersion, disruptive ideation, and feedback from a panel of working editors — before a single pitch leaves the building.
Praytell works across the US, UK, and Australia, with offices in New York, LA, San Francisco, Austin, Chicago, and Minneapolis — though every role is open to fully remote candidates anywhere within the United States.
The "Creative That Earns" Process
Deep, intentional research — brand landscape, competitors, and cultural rabbit holes — to surface insights that fuel ideas nobody will see coming.
A brand deep-dive with maximum immersion, merging the research data with real lived experience to build true brand empathy.
Every idea must feel genuinely different. In a landscape of too many pitches and too few journalists, news has to feel new.
A proprietary media panel of dozens of working editors provides candid, compensated feedback on ideas before they reach a single inbox.
