What's the Vision?
We envision a future where organizations don't have to choose between meaningful storytelling and meaningful results—where authentic human stories build trust, strengthen communities, and inspire people to take action.
​
Heartmade exists to help our partners become more connected to the people they serve, more confident in the stories they tell, and more intentional about the impact they create.
Story
Our mission is to help purpose-driven organizations find the stories that matter and share them in ways that genuinely connect with people.
Through thoughtful strategy, authentic storytelling, and beautifully crafted video, we help our partners build trust, strengthen relationships, and inspire meaningful action.
Meet Our Founder
Jon Stante is a producer, director, marketer, and endlessly curious storyteller who has spent nearly two decades asking people questions, pointing cameras at them, and figuring out what makes a story worth telling.
​
His career has taken him inside higher education marketing teams, creative agencies, and productions of all shapes and sizes. Along the way, he learned that the best work rarely starts with a camera. It starts with listening, asking better questions, and understanding what you're actually trying to accomplish.
​
That's the idea behind Heartmade.
​
Today, Jon leads strategy, creative development, and production at Heartmade, working alongside clients and a trusted network of creative collaborators to uncover the human stories hiding inside organizations.
He's based in Central Pennsylvania, believes authenticity beats polish for polish's sake, and is always happy to talk through a good story over a cup of coffee.
