Since 2009, our movement-building projects have delivered measurable impact with world-leading philanthropies, brands, and NGOs. These projects are designed, led, and implemented by Purpose’s local teams across the world, including in India, Brazil, Indonesia, the US, UK, and Kenya. We focus on six issue areas we believe are key to our collective future.
We define ambitions. Leveraging research and insights to discover opportunities for impact, guided by equity, authenticity and cultural understanding. From defining the difference you can make in the world, to understanding who to reach, where to reach them, and – most importantly – how we help organizations make strategic decisions that shape our future for good.
We mobilize people. Developing creative campaigns and programs that inspire people to take up a cause and instigate change. Crafting activations for impact across multiple platforms – from 360 campaigns to grassroots movements, and physical experiences to full-length feature films. Brokering new connections, partnerships and coalitions from actors around the world towards a common good.
We inspire change. Creating and producing breakthrough work across multiple platforms that moves people to action. We create brand identities, content and campaigns that people get behind. Breakthrough ideas that become part of culture and spark lasting movements. Effective messaging and narratives that move people to act. All delivering measurable impact with your organization.
We measure impact. Maximizing and measuring the impact of work with precision and data. We understand what is and isn’t making a real difference, and we analyze and report on learnings at each step of the way. We use research, data collection and insight development to measure project effectiveness, ensuring there is a through line from individual activations to their wider impact on communities.
Purpose drives innovation on the world’s biggest issues. Experimenting in real-time to discover and amplify the best new strategies for public mobilization and storytelling on major issues. We produce breakthrough public engagement initiatives, new approaches and unexpected coalitions – winning policy victories, reaching vital new audiences, and producing measurable shifts in opinion.
We believe that impact is created from intersectional responses, so we collaborate with underrepresented audiences, impacted communities, and unexpected allies to tackle tomorrow’s biggest problems today. Leveraging evidence-based experimentation and global connections to develop creative campaigns that change the way people feel, think and act. Why? Creativity breaks down barriers to change. People are more likely to get on board with big ideas if they can understand, remember and participate in them. And when people are on board, change begins to happen.
