Tellwell is a creative studio in Fargo, North Dakota. We help nonprofits, higher education institutions, and mission-driven organizations find their story and tell it well through strategy, film, design, and web. We’ve been doing this work since 2014.
Our clients range from local nonprofits and regional universities to Fortune 100 companies and the largest
nonprofit university in the country. What they have in common is mission. They’re doing work that matters, and they need a creative partner who understands what’s at stake when the story doesn’t land.
We call our clients Story Makers. Not because it sounds good, but because that’s what they are. They’re the ones doing the work worth sharing. We just help the world see it.
We design for today, and we anticipate what’s next. Approaching every project with curiosity, we focus on sustainable, innovative solutions that ensure your story remains relevant and impactful. We are building for the future.
Our work balances high-quality polish with genuine relatability. We create excellence that connects in a real way, communicating complex ideas simply so everyone feels invited into the story.
At our heart, we tell stories that matter by focusing on the people behind the work. Every intentional choice strengthens connections, resonates with communities, and drives positive change.
We’re a multidisciplinary team of strategists, filmmakers, designers, and web builders based in Fargo. Small enough to know your name. Experienced enough to know what works.

We work with organizations that are ready to invest in their story and see it pay off. A few of the teams we’ve had the privilege of partnering with:
While our studio calls Fargo, North Dakota home, our work spans across the nation. We partner with nonprofits, higher education institutions, and mission-driven organizations in every corner of the country—bringing the same deep strategy, creative polish, and intentionality to every project, regardless of zip code.
Distance never gets in the way of a great story. Through interactive virtual strategy workshops and mobile film crews that travel directly on-location anywhere in the U.S., we make collaborating across time zones seamless. Whether you’re down the block, across the region, or on the opposite coast, we bring our full team’s energy straight to your front door.
Some organizations come to us with a single project in mind. Others are ready for a deeper engagement — a year-long partnership that covers strategy, creative, and everything in between.
Either way, it starts with a conversation. We’ll talk through where you are, where you want to go, and what it would look like to get there together.
