WHO WE ARE
The right narrative brings us all along on a shared journey to desired outcomes.
We're pioneers of narrative strategy and design. We use our entertainment expertise to create stories that engage, endure and empower.
Together, we co-create narratives that transform vision into reality. Our narratives are designed to engage, align and mobilize stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem.
Our Founder,
Ari Mostov
Ari Mostov is an award-winning entertainment producer, narrative strategist and social activist.
She has successfully used entertainment to change culture, attitudes, behavior and policies; most notably with the Oscar nominated film The Hunting Ground and it's corresponding social impact campaign It's On Us.
Raised by a physician-scientist, Ari always had a "doctor in your pocket" type of healthcare experience that was easy and empowering. Once recognizing that her experience was the exception rather than the rule, Ari pivoted to healthcare and now uses her entertainment experience to create a new narrative for health.
Prior to founding WellPlay, Ari worked as the business manager for Human Innovation Leader Jennifer Kenny, author of The Innovation Mindset. Jennifer mentored Ari in design thinking, systems thinking, executive strategy and team mobilization.
Ari attended University of Southern California, School of Cinematic Arts where she majored in screenwriting. Her work has been published in Scientific American, featured in Teen Vogue, Huffington Post and distributed on CNN, FOX, Discovery, Participant Media, Netflix, Xbox, Playstation and Amazon. She has presented at TEDx and performed on stage with Lady Gaga. When not creating new narratives, she can be found at the barn with her horse, Zamarra, or reading the latest webtoon comic.
