Our 1st event was a success! Next event on April 10 with ASquared!

We will host our next fireside chat with leaders of the digital agency ASquared. We will discuss becoming a B-corp, why they chose to do half their work with organizations working on "Sustainable Development Goals," and whether it’s possible to run a successful digital agency with an explicit aim to make the world better.
