Moving from passive allyship to active accompliceship is something we can all take ownership to: -Directly challenge institutionalized and problematic structures -Be active listeners—respecting and realizing that the marginalized are not monoliths in their tactics and beliefs -Build trust through consent and accountability We started the day with an interactive workshop hosted by The BrandLab’s Fearless Facilitator and Coach, Dawn Johnson. It was really special getting to take those learnings and extend the call for doing better in the late evening hours at The BrandLab’s Ignite Gala, a celebration commemorating 15 years of mission to change the face and voice of the marketing industry. Colle McVoy and our CEO, Christine Fruechte, have been in the thick of the work since The BrandLab’s founding —volunteering in classrooms, conferences, fundraising and agency tours. Christine was a founding board member and one of the organization’s greatest champions. Since 2009, the agency has hired 30 BrandLab interns—many of whom converted into full-time Account Management, Creative, PR and Human Resource roles.

“Tailgating culture is legion. Without fans, games are just games. The body paint, the infectious chants and master grilling as far as the eye can see,” says Colle McVoy VP Group Creative Director, Juan Davila Morris. “These die-hard fans put food front and center, often starting at the crack of dawn, because it's always better to have too much than not enough on game day.” “Creatively, we're having Frank's RedHot go as hard for tailgaters as they do for their teams. We want to show how Frank's sees fans and is hyper-aware of their efforts and unrivaled passion—taking part in the rituals and ruckus of it all,” adds Juan. If you're ready for the weekend, go ahead and read more about our latest from MediaPost.

USA TODAY joined us to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the ANNIKA Intercollegiate tournament at Minnesota's Royal Golf Club, a course co-designed by none other than Annika Sorenstam and Arnold Palmer. Since its founding, 170 athletes have gone on to play professional golf. This year's tournament featured women from 17 countries. The action across the 54-hole stroke play event had people holding their breath, but we get a thrill from what comes through the guidance and counsel Annika imparts while meeting with players and coaches. One of many examples of how The ANNIKA Foundation is leading the way was the addition of physical therapists to assist players with pre-round stretching and post-round recovery, a rarity at college events. #ANNIKAInter Exponent PR

The future of news is in the details. A digital product right-fit for breaking news and immersive storytelling. Typography that bewitches instead of alienates—easy on the eyes, while having the range to support the mercurial tonalities of what gets reported in a single news cycle. So, yeah, we turned outward to readers to inform how the Minnesota Star Tribune took form and we had quite a few “spicy debates,” as Design Director, Matthew Ulstad notes in the latest from Fast Company on the publication's extensive rebrand tackled in partnership with 10 Thousand Design x Code and Theory.
"A sans serif font that is just the right amount of swank," writes Elissaveta Brandon of Fast Company about the The Minnesota Star Tribune's rebrand.

We can all think of an outfit we didn’t love—each with a story we’d rather release from our conscience.

Garments no longer serving you, taking up closet space, can be a part of "The Second Catch Collection" that will launch this fall. Head to our comments to learn more about the campaign and how you can donate clothing.

“I watched Christine Fruechte at a women of influence luncheon 20 years ago, got to know her as a client through Target and respected what she built so much I joined Colle McVoy,” shares Gina Gray, Business Development EVP. “In moments of doubt about types of clients we could win over or the work we could do, Christine’s always fought and made space for reaching beyond the potential we see in ourselves.” This is exhibit one of one million for why Christine is joining leaders from AMC Networks, Crayola, the NBA, Papa Johns and dope ad shops like fellow Stagwell agency 72andSunny named to this years Campaign US 40 Over 40 list.
