Agency for Change : A Podcast from KidGlov
Working in an advertising agency, you meet some fascinating people. You also have the power to tell their stories. Agency for Change brings you interviews with people who are using their power to change the world around them in positive ways. Each episode focuses on one of these changemakers: the issue they’re addressing, the programs, products or services they’re providing to drive change, how they’re getting the word out about that change and the impact they’re having on people’s lives. Prepare to be inspired! Each of us can play a part in making positive change – and these are the people who show us how. Be sure to subscribe to this podcast so you don’t miss one of these uplifting interviews. If you know a changemaker you’d like us to consider for a future episode, please let us know. This podcast is produced by KidGlov, an advertising agency dedicated to helping change-making clients amplify their message, so they can focus on what they do best.
