Our approach

Giving the next generation the gift of their roots

Our storytelling process is designed to preserve your history in an engaging and inspiring way, but we don’t stop there. Our philosophy is that when it’s done right, your story is also an effective way to pass down your values

We start with discovery and interviews, often collaborating with a client’s family office. We’re expert listeners, and we take our role as trusted storytelling advisors seriously.

Whether it’s through a memoir, video, legacy will, or family charter consulting, all of our projects begin with our “100-year vow,” our commitment to craft your story so that it will inspire your great-great-grandchildren a century from now and beyond.

Family history book

Team Echo, many, many thanks again for all of your hard work on the book for my father. He was absolutely delighted. It was amazing to see his reaction - as I'm sure you find with all of the recipients of your books, it's a profound experience for them to have much of their life documented in such a fashion.

Thank you for all of your time and effort to make Dad’s book such a success. You are an army of very talented people. You and your incredible team worked tirelessly to get the book from the start to the finish line. Our families will treasure it for years to come!

I was extremely uneasy about doing a biography of my life. Well, I'm pleased to say that it has been accepted by family, friends and colleagues beyond my wildest expectations. I am so grateful to the entire Echo team for their dedicated assistance, enthusiasm and encouragement to keep me going to completion.

As my kids get older, I’m painfully aware of how fleeting this chapter of life is, and these books are what slow time down. These books allow me to savour every moment.

Over the years, every gathering at Echo began to feel like visiting friends. I am already hearing compliments for our story and I am so happy my husband and I decided to share it. It is comforting for me to know that my grandchildren and great grandchildren will know our journey.
