MAKING CREATIVITY ACCESSIBLE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY

The creative industry has been historically beyond reach for too many, for too long. We believe access and opportunity should be a given; not a privilege. By investing in initiatives that prioritize platforms and resources to underrepresented communities, we’re closing gaps and expanding creativity.

NeighborGood

Businesses and programs led by or designed to support folks from underrepresented groups, can often face inequitable access to high-caliber marketing support. We help increase their odds to stand out and succeed with pro-bono creative services.

IMPRINT for Education

Talent is everywhere, but opportunity isn’t. We are committed to making our industry more accessible to all students. Through immersive experiences and workplace readiness programs, we equip the next generation with the skills, connections, and confidence to leave their mark.

Leave A Tip

Impact can be as simple as where we choose to spend. Leave a Tip is our way to support minority-owned businesses with both coin + community. We pour recognition from our pockets for agency events by collaborating with these businesses.

We are in a constant pursuit for creative methods to keep the conversation around DEI a priority.

We always say business is personal. So we were honored to work with the renowned artist, Sarah Rutherford, to create the website for her passion project, “Our Stories of Strength.”

“We’re not stepping back, we’re showing up.”

DEI isn’t a trend we followed. It’s always been core to who we are. We believe that building a more inclusive and representative industry is crucial work—and that when more perspectives are empowered to show up fully, the work gets smarter, richer, and stronger. That’s why we refuse to be complacent. Pulling back doesn’t just pause progress—it reverses it. And every step forward requires intention and accountability. You’ll see that in how we show up—for each other, and for our communities. Progress isn’t always easy. But we’re not in the business of easy. We’re in the business of impact.
