For SYLVAIN, 2023 was a year of devastating loss, hard questions—and a renewed sense of purpose. We embark on 2024 as a company transformed, but more determined than ever to make sure that some things never change. Launching today, our third annual impact assessment, Progress Through Adversity, discusses it all: the highs, lows, lessons, and pivots. Like last year, this assessment is our attempt to hold ourselves to the same ethical and social standards we expect of our clients. It’s a transparent self-reflection on the impact we make as an organization, both for our team and for our stakeholders out in the world. Read it all here: https://lnkd.in/eGdf-rM4 An annual commitment of this kind would not be possible without a massive, dedicated team. Thanks to Jillian Rosen, Natalie Berry, Joey Camire, Chris Konya, Michael Kaye, Margo Husted, Xahra Gilbert, Aaron L. Powers, Natalie Kilic, Matthew Carter, Brian Okarski, Daniel Abary, Camille Drucker, Tony Vuong, Katie Cowden, Douglas Quenqua, and Justin Smith.

On November 12th, our Co-Chief Strategy Officer Joey Camire will take the main stage at Web Summit alongside our long-time partner and friend Eshan Ponnadurai of Meta, and moderator Lara O'Reilly of Business Insider. They'll be talking about why brands today are 'thirsty' and how this behavior has actually made them boring. Can we all break out of the precious predictability cycle we’ve found ourselves in? There's still time to grab your ticket. Details in the comments below. Big thanks Brian Tobin at Web Summit for the enduring support.

Last week I was in Washington, D.C for PopTech 2024: Uncharted Territory, where I had the honor of speaking and connecting with trailblazing leaders. Thanks to the Alain Sylvain Creative Fund, I joined a global community that’s redefining how we approach progress—focused on justice, compassion, and embracing the misfits who move humanity forward. A special thanks to Leetha Filderman, FRSA and Eli Wood for their hard work in bringing us all together at PopTech. I’m also grateful to Steven Jumper and Reggie Snowden from Ghost Note Agency, and Aaron L. Powers and the entire team at SYLVAIN. It’s an honor to be part of this incredible community of kind, powerful trailblazers.

SYLVAIN is headed to Sustainable Brands in San Diego! Next week, catch Co-CSO Chris Konya and Partner of Strategy Aaron L. Powers on stage. Both of their topics focus on building a future that we can all see ourselves in. It's a core tenant of our innovation work here at SYLVAIN: when moving forward, nobody should be left behind. From Aaron on Monday, 14th at 1:30 p.m. How can we make technological change feel less scary? And why is this so essential for building a sustainable future? From Chris on Wednesday, 16th at 2:30 p.m. What role do words play in the adoption of new innovations? Are we unintentionally gatekeeping consumers from our ideas through the language we use? You can still register to attend here: https://lnkd.in/ddB5pxg8 We hope to see you there! And special thanks to Dimitar Vlahov.
