You might not be aware of this but, the prominence of Puerto Rican music is staggering; in 2018, 27 out of the top 100 most viewed YouTube videos were by Puerto Rican artists. Conversely, many non-profit organisations struggle for recognition, often due to limited financial resources. For Giving Tuesday, Ogilvy came up with a campaign called “Giving Tuesday: Giving Songs” and harnessed the global musical influence of Puerto Rico by using these widely watched music videos to appeal for donations. Imagine if social causes received the same visibility as these YouTube superstars. Keeping this in mind, Ogilvy requested renowned Puerto Rican artists to exhibit compassion in a simple way: by giving new significance to their hit song titles on YouTube. Throughout #GivingTuesday, when millions searched for their favourite music videos, these song titles transformed into public service announcements, informing fans about the cause they supported and encouraging them to donate at givingtuesday.org. #givingtuesday #notforprofits #charities #donations #influencermarketing #socialcause #youtube #ogilvy #amazingcampaigns #clevercampaigns #givingback #supportingcharities #marketing #digitalmarketing #videoadvertising

No doubt that tents are a big issue for festivals, alongside the general waste and recycling challenges. ⛺ ♻ But a new(ish) challenge for festivals are waste vapes [millions of them] and other FastTech electricals like power banks and mini-fans. We have produced a guide on what festivals need to know and what they can do to help manage these challenges.

Small gestures at scale make a big impact, so why not consider what you could donate to the Old Fire Station’s Big Give campaign. https://lnkd.in/eFJ5QeVH People need a place to feel welcome, express ideas and passions, think through changing times, or escape into art, dance or a show. These opportunities often don’t exist for people with fewer resources, and the combination of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis and stretched frontline services means there are many people who are not being represented or included in the arts. Through working more inclusively, over the next year the Old Fire Station in Oxford expects a footfall of 25,000 people in our building. Some will come to see a show or join a workshop, some will be moving on from homelessness or social crises, others will be volunteers, trainees or refugee women working for Damascus Rose Kitchen. Our work helps people feel part of a community and less isolated, make connections and build networks, improve wellbeing and a sense of purpose, feel heard, represented and valued.
