Describe the key tenets of your agency's mission and ethos.

“Sustainability and social impact: Co-founders Melody Serafino and Erin Allweiss have created a unique business model that was unheard of at the time the agency was founded in 2013: one focused on exclusively representing clients in sustainability and social impact. Generating change: No. 29's clients—ranging from major companies to small startups—leverage the power and resources they have to rally for equity, conservation and preservation of nature, physical and mental health and well-being, and circularity in design, in addition to taking action to publicly address and help rectify some of the most pressing issues of our time. Synergy for good: The agency's clients come from a wide spectrum of industries, including slow and ethical fashion and beauty (VEJA, Baserange, Mwani Zanzibar, ORMAIE), sustainable food and beverage (The Oberon Group), meaningful tech (Embodied's Moxie Robot, Happiest Baby/SNOO, Yuka, Circ), activists and nonprofits (ReFED, Museum for the UN, TED, The Or Foundation), and high-profile individuals (Oliver Jeffers, Suleika Jaouad).”
