Why is purpose-driven leadership so powerful? During the 2024 WOBI World Business Forum in NYC, Stephen M. R. Covey, co-founder and CEO of CoveyLink Worldwide, LLC and author, emphasized that people want to create meaning, contribute, and build a legacy—they seek purpose. True leaders establish a culture that facilitates opportunities to achieve that. By embracing our shared humanity and focusing on what unites us, we can build that culture.

The dust has settled on COP29 in Baku, a summit marked by marathon negotiations, contentious debates, and incremental progress. While the new $300 billion annual climate finance goal was agreed, it fell short of the $1.3 trillion demanded by developing nations, leaving many disappointed. Key advances like finalizing Article 6 on carbon markets offered hope, but critical decisions on phasing out fossil fuels were deferred to COP30 in Brazil. With negotiations stretching 35 hours overtime, COP29 highlighted the immense challenges of global climate diplomacy. Progress was made, but the gap between ambition and action remains daunting. https://lnkd.in/gFXvJnRh #FINNonCOP #FINNonCOP29 #COP29 #ClimateAction #ClimateNegotiations As we look ahead to COP30, the question lingers: Can the world move beyond incremental steps to deliver transformative change?

We are proud to announce our partnership with Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco) in France, and Asia Society France, a cultural association promoting greater knowledge of Asia, in a pioneering initiative to explore Europe’s Pan-Asian Gen Z communities. Pan-Asia diasporas in Europe represent a significant and growing demographic that is increasingly important for brands to consider. With this three-way collaboration, Masters students at INALCO will be supported by the teams at FINN Global Intelligence and FINN Partners Luxury as they leverage advanced methodologies—from OSINT and social listening to AI-driven analysis and focus groups – to research the cultural, media and commercial influences of Asian diasporas in Europe, and the implications for brands looking to engage with them. We look forward to seeing the outcomes of this research, confident that it will inspire fresh perspectives and contribute valuable insights to the global conversation on cultural exchange and brand strategy.

We’re proud to share our recent “Give a Strip” laundry campaign just won the Silver Shorty Award in the Environment & Sustainability category! Our client, Tru Earth, has a critical cause to make true, lasting change that helps save the planet with their laundry Eco-Strips, which reduce the amount of single-use plastics that end up in oceans and landfills. Our task was to spread awareness about Tru Earth, giving consumers the ability to make this impactful change. In this case, we sought to catch and keep attention by focusing on the fun part of doing laundry – when the clothes come off! Shorty Awards #MondayMotivation #FINNWINNING
