About.

Brave or crazy, this is our story.

Established in 2018

Teach, learn, listen. It's that simple. To teach teams how to write better stories - and where to look for them. To learn how people behave online and translate that into targeted strategies. And most importantly, to listen to both you and the market for new trends. 

Our Goal

We could only sit in the background, watching teams struggle with recruitment and marketing for so long. ​We want to help great companies stand out, provoke, get noticed, and get remembered with great writing. Our job is to teach you to create that impact. 

Why ​"Three Ears"?

---

"I was told on more than one occasion
that I have two ears and one mouth,
so I should spend twice as much time listening as I do talking. 

So I thought Three Ears would be even better
​in a world where listening is so under-valued."

- Katrina Kibben, Founder
