Social impact fills our workdays, but our team also loves seeing examples in daily life! We call it "social impact in the wild". Here's an example spotted on a recent flight ?? Delta Air Lines spotlighted its partnership with the The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), highlighting how in-flight purchases during October support breast cancer research. This montage uses powerful storytelling, aligns with a key moment in time like Breast Cancer Awareness Month and integrates giving into routine customer experiences like in-flight purchases. It’s a simple but powerful combination to raise awareness, raise funds and inspire action even in the air! #SocialImpact #CorporateSocialResponsibility #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #SocialImpactInTheWild

The 2024 PRNEWS Platinum Awards celebrate the leaders, teams and campaigns powering the most buzz-worthy cultural conversations. This year, Rocket’s own Jenn DeBarge Goonan helped judge Campaign of the Year for Non-Profits. Her key takeaways? ?? ? ??Dual Approach: Best-in-class comms strategies work at the macro and micro level. For example, advocacy with lawmakers and industry leaders validates the cause, while personal stories bring it to life. ? ?? Harness the Power of Online Communities: Social media and platforms like WhatsApp are key tools for turnkey engagement. Standout example: A WhatsApp group enabled Costa Rican girls to directly message lawmakers with their personal stories related to a proposed legislative bill. The bill became law within days, benefiting thousands of girls.? ? ?? Life Happens: No matter how well-planned, unexpected challenges will arise. The ability to pivot is critical to success. ? Huge congrats to this year’s winners! Check them out for some inspiration: https://lnkd.in/eUr8r8XS ?#PRNEWS #CommunicationsExcellence #CampaignOfTheYear #NonProfitLeadership
