The Power of Connecting Passion With Purpose

Now more than ever, it's imperative brands have a purpose and take a stand in something that consistently resonates with their community – one that is attractive and inspiring enough to organically drive belief-driven consumers to want to belong, and organically share their commonality. This means brands must share their purpose at every touchpoint and with every product to break through in the overwhelmingly congested digital marketplace. The good news is that belief-driven buyers are optimistic, highly value transparency and perceive B.S. immediately – they want to change the world, believe they can and will support brands with the same value system. Join Adweek as we sit down with District of Clothing’s Dionna Dorsey to discuss the importance of leading your brand with purpose and authenticity.

Driving Business Equality Through Partnerships

In light of the profound societal and economic gaps that have come into clearer focus this past year and a half, and with consumers calling for action, it’s imperative for businesses to use their unique place of privilege to help advance equality. In doing so, they make their own businesses stronger. In this session, we’ll discuss how businesses and their partners can drive equality through strategies such as diversifying dollars in selecting suppliers, sharing the stage or working with those who typically don’t get a voice, and by accelerating inclusive representation in media and creative assets chosen to represent their brand.

Facebook’s Jameel Haralson, Manager and Team Lead, Partner Growth and Enablement, will be joined by Facebook partners in this discussion on driving business equality.

Jameel Haralson, Manager and Team Lead, Partner Growth and Enablement, Facebook

Leveling Up: Programming the Multi-Billion Dollar Gaming Industry To Help End Global Malnutrition in Children

When the Eleanor Crook Foundation, which works to end global malnutrition, tapped social impact agency Hive to fight the number one killer of children, the agency came up with a creative solution that leveraged the multi-billion dollar video game industry to meet players where they are. LifePack is a first of its kind initiative that partners with gaming companies to redirect funds from in-game purchases (that players would make anyway) to save children’s lives. In this session, Hive Co-founder and CEO Jenifer Willig and Creative Director Lew Willig will explain how LifePack came to be, the importance of finding the right partners and creating a sustainable model to provide life-saving treatment to kids who need it most.
