Talk is cheap...authenticity isn’t. If your brand's not living by this in 2025, are you even trying? In her latest Forbes piece, award-winning food and environmental journalist (and our brilliant friend) Daphne Ewing-Chow dives into why purpose and integrity are the bedrock of a personal brand that truly makes an impact in the sustainability space. 🌍 Why should you care? Because, in a world drowning in greenwashing, authenticity is the only currency that holds value. It’s what earns trust, sparks real action, and pushes us toward a future worth fighting for. Big thanks to Daphne for the shoutout—always a pleasure to collaborate with you! 🙏 Catch the full piece linked in our comments. 🔗

So, 2024 happened... blink and you missed it, right? 🥵 This year, we joined forces with 63 incredible partners across 122 projects, all driven by 1 unapologetically ambitious goal: A fairer world, faster. 🌍 From mobilising youth voters and ditching single-use plastics to raising record-breaking funds for charity and amplifying marginalised voices—you helped us make it happen. And we were lucky enough to even pick up some shiny awards along the way 🏆 But enough chit chat—want to see your impact in action? Well we’ve got just the thing for you... Check out our 2024 Wrapped video! We crammed in as much as we could—still, we couldn’t squeeze it all in. But hey, we tried! It’s all about celebrating YOU—our partners, supporters, and team—for helping shape history this year (see what we did there 😉). 2024 was epic, but we’re just getting started. Let’s make even more impact in 2025—let’s chat!🔥

"Ads say women can be anything – but are they really helping?" 🤔 That’s the big question our Olivia Scarlett tackles in her latest piece for Campaign UK. She analyses some of the most viral “empowering” campaigns that, upon closer look, fail to address the deeper systemic issues women face—like unequal pay, lack of leadership opportunities, and limited access to resources. Check out the piece linked in the comments for her practical advice on how to create campaigns that go beyond lip service and drive real, lasting change. 🔥💪 #GenderEquality #WomenInAds #CreativeImpact

Something has changed within our associate creative director… something is not the same…🧙♀️ If you, like many others, held space for Wicked, you’ll know the lasting impact it leaves behind. In fact, our Zoë Jessica Dawson, inspired by Elphaba’s dilemma between being green and being good, found herself reflecting on her own tug-of-war as a creative; the pull between chasing fame and creating work that truly matters. Thankfully, Campaign UK and PRWeek deemed it worthy of sharing. 🙌 Read the full piece linked in the comments. 👇 P.s. Swipe to the second slide to see the header pic that unfortunately (or fortunately) didn’t make the cut. 😅
