ABOUT
There’s a way of doing business in GovCon. It’s sacred, solemn, and grounded in deep tradition.
We don’t follow it.
GovCon DIFFERENT was created to drive change in the federal space. We’re not here to hand out awards that celebrate the status quo. We’re here to elicit and foster mission stories that spread across government agencies like wildfire. The mission matters to us and if we're honest, in many cases America is falling behind. It’s going to take a DIFFERENT approach to compete in the 21st century.
CLIFF SUNDSTROM
WHAT I DO:
Produce and direct video stories. But what I really do is express the client’s vision to make an emotional and psychological point. I orchestrate all the elements to make it happen.
HOW:
There’s an energy on set and if you don’t get it right, the story won’t connect. I help professionals connect to their own experiences to fuel real conversations.
WHY:
I love it. Video production is the closest thing to skydiving that pays well. There’s a lot of adrenaline on set and I thrive on it. I also thrive in the middle - in the middle of tech and art, business and human impact, you and your story.

WHAT I DO:
Communication coaching, directing, and producing. But what I really do is help teams and individuals to develop meaningful messages that drive change.
HOW:
I convert complex, unwieldy engineering and policy issues into gut grabbing
messages that stick.
WHY:
I love it. The job is tough as GOVCON can be a tech policy jungle with powerful personalities and dizzying details that overwhelm the uninitiated. But that’s the fun part. Landing on the job, figuring out the real crux and sensing how to engage and connect with different personalities and aptitudes to develop meaningful messages is rewarding. And an emphasis on meaningful, not happy talk… Meaningful solutions that help government CIO's or Agency leaders make better decisions.
