About Neal Strauss

I build growth strategies that are human-centered, data-informed, and story-driven. I help organizations get clear about who they are, connect with the people they serve, and grow in ways that reflect their values.As the Director of Strategic Initiatives of the South Philadelphia Shtiebel and the Founder & Chief Strategy Officer of A Bissel Creative, I work at the intersection of strategy, storytelling, and community. My focus is on helping teams find clarity, design systems that make sense, and build cultures that last.I believe a great strategy starts with listening. The best ideas come from paying attention to what people need, what the data shows, and what the story wants to become. From there, I help turn insight into action, whether that means refining a brand, strengthening a team, or shaping an organization’s next chapter.My approach is grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and care. I bring people together around a shared vision and help translate that vision into real steps forward.At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to help people do work that matters and make that work easier to sustain.
