Text reading: 'Pith & Pixie Dust - Hollywood-Born. Story-Driven. Business-Changing.'

In Hollywood, storytelling is everything. We spent our careers mastering the craft—building legendary brands, shaping cultural moments, and turning content into empire-building strategy. Now, at Pith & Pixie Dust, we bring that same storytelling magic to businesses ready for their next blockbuster chapter. Because behind every great strategy, there’s a story waiting to be told.

OUR HISTORY

Tricia Melton
Tom Ascheim

We have 75 years of experience in the strategic leadership business at blue chip companies, much of that as CEO’s, Presidents, CMO’s, and other leadership positions. Over our many multiples of the proverbial 10,000 hours, we’ve both developed strategic skills, but perhaps more importantly deep pattern recognition. We’ve got our PHD in seeing forests over trees. If that sounds a bit ephemeral, here are some of our vital statistics:

Infographic showing achievements: $15 billion annual revenue, $5 billion annual ROI, 40+ years in leadership, 10 rebrands, 100+ product launches, 5000+ people led.

"Facts tell. Stories sell." text on black background.

Ask anyone to tell you the story of their first kiss. They remember names, dates and serial numbers. Ask that same person what they had for dinner last night and be prepared for a lot of “um’s…”

Great companies — companies that drive sustained and profitable growth — need a compelling narrative about both what they are and what they can be.


Behind every great strategy is a great story.
