WHO WE ARE
We are storytellers who believe in the power of mission-driven work.
Journo Birds is a team of journalists, videographers and editors with over 20 years of international experience. Our team, based in Moldova and Estonia, includes videographers, photographers, journalists and producers.
We have reported from villages, cities and conflict zones, worked with global newsrooms and grassroots teams, and learned how to find the human story at the heart of complex issues.
Now we use those skills to support nonprofits and development agencies. We help you show the real impact of your work, not just through facts and figures but through stories that move people to care.
We believe that good work deserves visibility and that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for change. Our job is to help you tell your story clearly, honestly and in a way that reaches the people who need to hear it.
Marian Männi
With over 15 years of experience in journalism and media, Marian's superpower is to make difficult topics easy and boring topics interesting, either as a researcher, a media analyst, or a journalist. She has studied, lived, and worked in nine countries worldwide. As a US State Department fellow, she spent a month meeting and listening to some of the best journalists in the US, a big part of it at the Pulitzer-winning Miami Herald. She became the country’s first data journalist. Before moving to Moldova, Marian won the country's most prestigious investigative award, the Bonnier Award.
