About Culture and Quill

At Culture and Quill, we believe stories have the power to connect, inspire, and drive change. Founded in Columbia, Maryland and based in the Greater Baltimore-Washington D.C. metro area by attorney and experienced digital media executive Faye McCray, Culture and Quill was created to bring the focus back to the story—filling a gap that can often be overlooked in the pursuit of day-to-day goals. As businesses, nonprofits, and leaders work to meet immediate priorities, it can be challenging to find the time for the deep, reflective work that shapes authentic and impactful narratives.

At Culture and Quill, we guide you through every step of the storytelling process, ensuring your story not only connects but inspires action. We offer strategic storytelling solutions that go beyond crafting narratives—we help you build authentic connections rooted in purpose. Through our commitment to research, insights, and social listening, we develop content strategies, campaigns, and messaging that engage your audience and drive genuine impact.

Unlike agencies that rely on templates and trends, we dive deep into understanding your brand’s essence, ensuring your message is not only heard but felt. Whether you’re looking to elevate your brand, grow your thought leadership, or drive impactful partnerships, we provide the expertise to amplify your distinct value.
