Values shape the way you live and work, and they also determine your priorities. 👀 So, what does it mean to truly align your company and business values, towards a future where creativity is in service of solutions, rather than pollution. As Luke Purdy, Director of Sustainability at Wieden & Kennedy, until it becomes a company value, it won't generate the business value you need it to, so it needs to be embraced. This alignment isn’t passive—it’s a practice. There is a movement of values-driven frontrunners, embracing this change and committing their creativity to solutions.

📣 The creative industry faces a skills-gap when it comes to climate A study by The World Federation of Advertisers found there is a widening capability gap emerging for marketing professionals in sustainability topics, increasing by 35% in 2023, compared to 20% in 2021. Meanwhile the 2024 IPA Agents of Change Report reveals that 70% of agencies haven’t begun, or are only at the very beginning of their journey into sustainability planning. We’re scaling our support for the industry to up-skill in climate communications and anti-greenwashing, and piloted our new in person workshop last week at the ADCE - Art Directors Club of Europe. Here’s what attendees had to say about it! 👇

Last week at the ADCE - Art Directors Club of Europe festival in Barcelona we delivered a two hour comprehensive anti-greenwash training for creatives! We walked participants through the core principles of anti-greenwashing, the latest in upcoming regulation, and designed activities to re-frame the message and directly apply theory into practice. Would your agency or brand benefit from an in house training or inspiration session? Stay tuned as we prepare to scale up our supportive capacity!
