Initiative unlocks business growth for the world’s most ambitious brands. We believe in the power of media to reshape our industry and orchestrate a brand’s entire consumer experience, by balancing both what unites people and what makes them different. When brands unite people in culture, they build Fame, and when brands connect individuals to their unique journeys, they build customer Flow. Initiative builds Fame & Flow for brands like Amazon, Nike, Constellation Brands, Merck, LEGO, and T-Mobile. Media responsibility is at the forefront of everything we do, whether it’s creating media plans that reflect the diversity of our communities, promote brand safety, and foster sustainability. Our agency celebrates diversity in an inclusive environment where all of our 6,000+ strong talent across 90+ markets feel seen, heard, and valued. Our vision is to create not only a better media company, but also a better media industry, and maybe even a better world.

Despite “connecting media to outcomes” being a top priority for the C-suite, half of marketers are no longer performing any type of holistic measurement. Why? Because it’s historically been difficult to do. We’re breaking out of the “doom loop” and getting to data-driven decisions faster for our clients. Our partnership with Amazon Ads has led to a groundbreaking solution that's transforming how we measure campaign success. We've created a scalable dashboard solution on top of Amazon Marketing Cloud (AMC, Amazon’s clean room) that delivers actionable insights without endless data crunching or weeks-long waits for answers.
