Verdant Storyworksis the home of Matthew Greenberg.
I help organizations figure out what they actually want to say — and then I make sure it gets made. I'm based in the Washington, DC, area and work across video, podcast, long-form writing, and content strategy. My clients tend to be institutions — universities, nonprofits, government agencies, and large brands — with real things to say and complicated internal processes for saying them.
Our Framework
Core Capabilities
We guide high-value, complex storytelling projects from initial strategy through to final, polished production — navigating approvals, technical details, and organizational structures seamlessly.
Video Production
I work with strategy, marketing, government relations, and communications teams to develop long- and short-form video — turning institutional research and knowledge into productions that hold an audience.
Narrative Management
I work directly with C-suite executives on some of the most politically and reputationally sensitive corporate work — CSR, government relations, executive profiles, and high-stakes fundraising — helping leaders figure out what they want to say and how to say it in a way that lands.
On-Set Direction
I've directed hundreds of hours of interviews and on-set production — helping subjects find their voice on camera and steering conversations toward the moments that actually serve the piece.
Writing & Editing
From long-form articles to 60-second scripts, I write across formats, adapting voice and register to each client without losing what makes the work worth reading.
Agility
The first rule in journalism school is "make your deadline," and I take that seriously. I'm a quick study and a fast writer — and I work within your timeframe.
