Naturally Social | B Corp Certified

As we bid adieu to a year of impactful storytelling and purposeful social media campaigns, it's time to hit the rewind button. As a social media agency dedicated to the purpose-driven space, we've had a year that’s been as rewarding as it has been challenging. So, let's take a moment to look back at the milestones that defined our 2023!   👩⚕️ Delivering a series of virtual workshops tailored for the NHS.    🥂 Landing four new large retainer clients, all with a heart for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and charity initiatives. These partnerships aren't just about business growth; they're about amplifying voices that advocate for change and social good.   ☀ Attending Social Media Marketing World in sunny San Diego for the second year running.   🐝 In March, we crossed a milestone that's close to our hearts – becoming #bcorpcertified. This certification is more than a badge; it's a promise to our clients and our team that we will continue to balance profit with purpose, ensuring that every click and like makes a difference.   🎈 Being crowned Best Small Agency at the #UKSocialMediaAwards   💷 Our annual pro-bono campaign resulted in £4,287 raised in just five days for Wicked Weather Watch. Here's to another year of crafting compelling narratives, sparking engaging dialogues, and driving social change through the power of #socialmediamarketing.

What happens when a company like OpenAI—now worth as much as Goldman Sachs—shifts from nonprofit to for-profit? Can it still uphold its mission to "benefit all of humanity," or will profits take precedence over purpose? In his recent op-ed for The New York Times, Andrew Kassoy, co-founder and co-chair of B Lab Global, explores the challenges ahead for OpenAI, why becoming a public #benefitcorporation is just the first step in holding AI companies accountable to society, workers, and the planet—and why OpenAI needs more than good intentions to fulfill its potential for positive impact. From setting rigorous standards for transparency to drawing lessons from purpose-driven companies like Patagonia, Andrew lays out how OpenAI could lead the way in ethical AI—but only if it commits to real accountability. "Every day, by applying these same principles, thousands of certified #BCorps show that business can be a force for good to create high-quality jobs, rebuild strong communities and solve environmental crises — all while making money for investors. Surely OpenAI, with its ingenuity and newfound resources, can match their efforts." — Andrew Kassoy. 📰 Read the full op-ed here: https://nyti.ms/3Yn22yz #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEthics #OpenAI #BCorp #Sustainability B Lab UK B Lab U.S. & Canada B Lab Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand B Lab Africa B Lab Europe Sistema B
