We Are For Good

Meet Javan. He’s on a mission to help nonprofits achieve the same level of impact and recognition as major brands. While working as an art director, he found himself pulled toward mission-focused work where his skills could make an even bigger difference. This led him to work with Invisible Children, an org gained worldwide attention through their creation of the Kony 2012 campaign. Javan then founded Donately and Fifty & Fifty to support the many causes and organizations that need that same level of storytelling and digital support. Javan is speaking out language in this episode and has so much wisdom to share with the We Are For Good community 👏Tune in for the playbook on how to take your nonprofit's brand to the next level🚀
