Creating Meaningful And Sustainable Partnerships

Proud of so many partners and people we have worked with over the past decades. The longer we do this work, the more our partners align with the idea of contribution. That doesn’t mean they are all non-profit organizations, though some are. It means people and companies that walk their talk across the board, co-creating meaningful and sustainable partnerships that seed vision and grow. Amazing people doing epic things all over the place, using their imaginations, elbow grease and lanes to uplevel the “work” paradigm, take care of themselves, prosper, and help heal the world by working their magic.

Happy to chat about any or all of our work with you- real conversation over marketing tactics. Yes, have managed social media accounts with millions of followers. Just as excited to talk about your vision, why it matters and how we can dig in and start building. Connection and conversation are best place to start working together. 95% of our work comes from referrals and relationships. Grateful there are so many amazing projects happening in a world that needs leaders and visionaries to help drive change.

The Lodges on Vashon:

Vashon Island’s only true hotel, The Lodges offer a truly flexible, customizable experience, offering a serene escape from the city.

Terra Bella’s flowers are responsibly sourced from farms that use salmon safe and organic practices while also supporting South American growers with organic and fair-trade certifications. Melissa’s designs are awe-inspiring in their beauty and offer a reboot in a historically toxic industry.

WOKE on Hulu:

We supported BloodWorks NW with social media strategy for their Savor Life campaign.

Now we are working with Bloodworks to keep filling this critical community need. From now until the end of the year, we’re partnering with local musicians throughout Washington and Oregon to help us spread the word about the Musics In Our Blood campaign. We have amazing partners in this campaign including SMASH, KEXP, Sub Pop, Music Portland, Starbucks, Top Pot Doughnuts, to name a few. Please join us in supporting and register to donate today.
