About us
Gesine Schmidt-Schmiedbauer and Philip Doyle are friends who share a common purpose rooted in human rights.
This shared passion drives their efforts to support leaders and changemakers in effectively communicating what they stand for, with the aim of making a positive impact on people and the planet.
Whilst working together at Amnesty International Austria, their strategic approach to communication and campaigning was instrumental in transforming the organisation into a more inclusive and rapidly growing movement.
They founded one step beyond in 2022 to help organisations elevate their communication and campaigning efforts to a more impactful and strategic level. At the same time, they support purpose-led businesses that benefit from engaging narratives, movement thinking and a campaigning mindset.
As part of a global network of certified hope-based communication specialists, they are dedicated to advancing the field of narrative practice across Europe and globally.
They are forward-looking people with a hopeful mindset.
