Intesa Communications Group

case study

The Challenge

When Intesa Communications Group invited us into their world, it felt like meeting an old friend. With founders Margie Newman and Maddy Kilkenny at the helm, Intesa has become a trusted voice in both government relations and communications for some of San Diego’s most influential organizations. We share a common goal: to tell stories that strengthen our city and connect communities. Intesa has a deep well of relationships, trust and messaging expertise. We bring boots-on-the-ground visual storytelling. Together, that’s a powerful combination. Our teams work together seamlessly: Intesa sets the stage, and we translate complex issues into vivid, human-centered visuals that resonate.

What We Did

  • Filmed a brand video for Intesa itself, capturing their dual strength in communications and government relations.
  • Begun development of a new website for a regional higher education client, which is scheduled to launch later in 2025.
  • Produced a film highlighting the San Diego Downtown Partnership’s work to support the unhoused community.
  • Created a brand film for Intesa reflecting their identity as an award-winning communications firm.

Impact

This isn’t a one-off collaboration — it’s an ongoing partnership grounded in shared values, mutual respect and the work of bringing San Diego’s stories to life.
