Who we are
Two comedians, writers, and public speakers who turned humor and storytelling into a science for unforgettable communication.
Memorably was founded by Carly Ballerini and Rebecca Joey Schwab, two performers-turned-professionals who believe the key to great communication isn’t more information—it’s emotion, surprise, and story.
Together, they’ve transformed what they learned on stage into a method that helps teams, educators, and leaders connect with clarity and confidence. Through humor and structure, they teach people how to be heard, understood, and remembered.
