Challenge: We were recently asked to expand the reach of our client who is prominent in the apparel sustainability sector. Our client had so many far-reaching relationships, read global, and with the cancellation of in-person events, he was no longer able to travel to attend conferences and see friends, colleagues and other thought-leaders and wanted a way to maintain and nurture those relationships, as well as develop new ones. Solution: We created virtual events, which were in-depth interviews with key players in the fashion sustainability industry.
