Dot Connector operates as a network of producers, strategists, researchers, and futures practitioners working at the intersection of arts, media, democracy, regeneration, and culture. It supports philanthropic organizations, nonprofits, and regional bodies focused on social change, partnering with clients to imagine and shape more just futures. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the firm began as Dot Connector Studio in 2013, founded by Jessica Clark and Katie Donnelly, and has since broadened from strategy and storytelling toward futures-oriented work; after Clark's death in 2025, the organization continues in its latest chapter. The company sits within the research services landscape, emphasizing collaborative practices that prioritize rest, care, and authentic connection as core operating principles. It has a track record of partnerships with mission-aligned organizations, including initiatives with the Internet Society Foundation and with 8 Bridges Workshop in the early 2020s, reflecting its engagement beyond traditional consulting.
