Your Personal Journalist.
For Hire.
I'm Andy Gillfillan – a working journalist with more than 20 years of experience leading newsrooms and telling powerful stories that cut through the noise. Now, I use those same instincts to individuals, businesses, and nonprofits who want more than marketing fluff.
​
I ask smart questions. I listen deeply. Then I craft content that informs, connects – and actually matters.
​
And yes – Graham was there for most of it.
​
Welcome to Graham & Gold: Storytelling Strategy by Andy Gillfillan.


Why Graham & Gold?
These are Graham and Emmy. They were my life. They were with me at my best — and especially at my worst. Through cross-country moves, heartbreak, caregiving, career highs and personal rock bottoms, they never left my side. Graham just passed, but his loyalty, heart, and quiet strength still ground me every day.
​
That's why I named this business Graham & Gold — not just for a dog, but for what he stood for: resilience, honesty, and unconditional presence. That's the same spirit I bring to every story I help tell.
Storytelling strategies, life lessons, and behind-the-scenes truths from a veteran newsroom leader.
It's not generic content. They are real stories.
​
Here's how it works.
​
I sit down with business owners, team leaders, and even their clients – not with a script, but with curiosity. I ask the kind of questions that pull out meaning, not marketing fluff.
​
Then I turn what I hear into something that works:
​
•Articles with heart
•Blog posts with a voice
•Website copy that doesn't put people to sleep
​
I help people figure out what matters – and how to say it.
