We are a collective of writers, journalists and communications executives, mostly in New York.

Adam Delehanty

Founder & CEO

My first job was on Obama’s campaign staff. My second was producing interviews with world leaders and entrepreneurs for podcasts. In the decade since, I’ve carved out my niche: helping leaders find the language their ideas deserve.

Usually, that means co-creating the core narratives that define them and their company, and then translating them across media. In addition to writing, I also coach many of our clients on their public presentations, social media and internal communications.

Max Coyne-Green

Head of Content

I started my career leading research projects for hedge funds and Big Tech. After that, I built and helped scale early-stage B2B services firms before making the next logical career move: quitting everything to become a screenwriter. Since then, I've taught myself the craft, written six scripts, developed TV concepts in Turkey, and produced my first film.

At Ghost, I get to combine all of this work to help our clients puncture a noisy media landscape with exceptional writing.

Working with Adam was an essential part of launching my fund. He helped me shape and then express my core investment thesis, and publish a viral essay that continues to attract top founders and LPs.

Our #1 thing:

The
Foundational
Essay

Every founder, investor and creator should have one essay or thread that nails their story.

Who they are, why they do what they do, and how their work will change the world.

‍It’s the viral piece that's pinned to your profile for a year; it's the best possible introduction to you and your life's work.

We work with clients to map out this story and bring it to life across media, so it can attract opportunities and jumpstart new conversations.

FAQs

  • Consistently painless. And on the best days, quite fun.

    At the most basic level, our work begins with an interview (or many) covering your journey, your company and the topics you care most about. The real work is turning those conversations into exceptional content that moves the needle for you and your business. 

  • Mostly they fall into three personas: 

    1) Founders who who want to use content and storytelling to raise funding, attract talent and inspire their team.

    2) Investors who want to increase their reach and promote their expertise for founders and LPs.

    3) Brands that want to leverage content and storytelling to break through the noise, capture customer interest and polish their public-facing copy.

  • Sure, if it’s a great fit. Send us a note, or just book a quick call here.

  • We use them every day for brainstorming, outlines and synthesizing ideas. Also: generic web copy and email campaigns.

    For our clients — founders and investors who are shaping the future of their fields — the bar is much higher. At its best, our content is personal, original and often is centered on niche ideas that aren’t yet public. AI writing tools can only get us so far.

  • There’s a smidge of overlap. But PR firms focus on getting you or your company exposure in the media, where we help you publish original content that is published across both owned and external media. One area of overlap: media prep. We often help our clients prepare for podcasts, media appearances and presentations, just like a traditional PR firm.
