What we do.
This is Brand Love 2.0.
A marketing model for a disconnected world, where we understand people beyond surface characteristics.
We curated a cross-disciplinary team of marketing leaders, educators, and scientists to find new approaches to old ideas, and reimagine what leadership can look like for brands who imagine a more welcoming world.
What we envision.
Brands can be the bridge that unites rather than divides.
It can feed our universal need to be part of something bigger and more authentic.
86% of Americans think we’ve lost the ability to find common ground. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can, as Lear once said, find a way “to let our differences bring us together rather than drive us apart.” Source: Public Agenda/USA Today/Ipsos poll 2021
How? By cultivating something that’s become a rare commodity: True connection.
Our purpose.
We exist to forever change the relationship between people and brands.

We’re taking this idea to the next level, helping brands forge deeper and more meaningful bonds with their audiences.
