OUR model

We work with partner organizations to create dynamic activations that spark engagement and drive impact. With wrap-around capacity, our work is customizable and plug-and-play. With full-service digital amplification, the work travels like pop-rocks.

Whether building activations for an intimate group or a crowd of thousands, all our activations share six key elements:

GRASSROOTS
Connecting local creatives, stakeholders, businesses, and key influencers.
IMPACT
Cause-aligned Calls to Action that feel empowering and frictionless.
AMPLIFY
Creative digital campaigns drive the message far and wide.
STORYTELLING
Authentic, cause-aligned narratives create context and lasting digital assets.
MUSIC
Channel local and Grammy-recognized musicians to make the intangible tangible.
ART
Tactile, immersive, craft activities and live-art experiences create community and build awareness.
