Serving Our Community
We want our legacy to stand for more than our client work, and we’re always searching for ways to give back to the community in a meaningful way.
Crux For a Cause Pro-Bono Marketing Program
We launched our pro-bono marketing services program in 2020, devoting $50,000 of marketing services gratis to one worthy nonprofit annually, starting with the organization People of All Colors Succeed. In 2024, we doubled down on our commitment, selecting two organizations to receive our pro-bono Crux for a Cause services.
WECODE KC
WeCode KC is a tech-ed nonprofit that is preparing a pipeline of future-ready tech professionals by training youth and young adults ages 7 to 26 on technology concepts, leadership and professional development. Serving Kansas City’s urban core, WeCode KC aims to create a more inclusive and equitable technology industry, by making coding more accessible to every young person, regardless of zip code or financial status.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION
As marketing professionals, we’re aware of our industry’s diversity gap—and we’re choosing to actively combat it.
