Frequently asked questions
Who runs Publishing Concepts?
The firm does not publicly disclose its leadership team or governance structure on its website. No named principals — founder, CEO, or managing director — are listed. This absence is notable for an entity that has collected over 2.8 million personal life stories.
How does the Oral History Project generate data for clients?
The firm conducts structured phone interviews with alumni or members, capturing life stories while simultaneously verifying and updating contact details, employment history, and other biographical fields. The recorded narrative serves the institution's engagement and archival goals; the verified data populates the institution's constituent database for advancement and alumni-relations use.
Does Publishing Concepts manage investment capital?
No. There is no indication on the firm's website or in any public record that Publishing Concepts operates as an investment manager, family office, or capital allocator. Its business is a fee-for-service model selling data-collection and storytelling projects to educational and membership organizations.
What is the difference between the Oral History Project and the Directory Project?
The Oral History Project combines narrative capture with data verification, producing both a story archive and updated constituent records. The Directory Project focuses exclusively on locating and updating contact information for lost or lapsed alumni and members, without the biographical storytelling component.
How is the StoryCause team distinct from the core oral-history work?
StoryCause applies the same interview-based methodology specifically to donor engagement. Instead of producing an alumni directory, it crafts personalized narratives about a donor's relationship with the institution, designed to be used by gift officers to deepen philanthropic conversations.
