You have ambitious plans.
Perhaps you want to encourage dialogue, influence public opinion (and action), pass legislation, pressure leaders or corporations, or simply be recognized as a thought leader and innovator among your peers, funders, media and raving fans.
We're here to help: tell your story and communicate your message, connect with the right audiences, inspire them to action, and make a better world possible.
We package and promote stories. We offer both strategic and creative guidance — we can analyze, counsel, plan, design, implement or all of the above.
We collaborate with our clients. We're comfortable contributing in a flexible capacity, and we're also flexible in our fees. We can work on retainer or per project.
Founder and principal consultant Scott Tillitt leads Antidote's efforts, bringing 20+ years of experience promoting ideas, products and services in various culture-shaping domains.
We also rely on an immediate family of experienced collaborators and a constantly expanding universe of professional and social communities. We collaborate with them as needed, which means you pay for talent and results, not overhead.
We have a broad perspective of issues, sectors and audiences and, with it, insights of the differences among them but also how to connect the dots between them. Our vast experience across a range of communications and marketing disciplines gives us a keen understanding of how all the elements work together.

Antidote Collective vs. Traditional Agency
Agency
Higher costs (overhead) for potentially modest results
Potential for hypocrisy and conflicts (with non-values-aligned firm)
Most work often managed by junior staffers
Often overworked with scattered attention
Perhaps a small fish in the pond
Beware over-promising and overbilling
Antidote Collective
Less overhead, more efficient
Aligned values with bona fide credentials
Work managed by senior consultants
Flexible structure allows for expert collaboration as needed
Fewer projects means more commitment, attention
Honest assessments and billing
Better results, more impact
“It’s no longer sufficient to be a solid, competent organization; you have to stir the brain cells — and the hearts — of your intended audience.”
