YEAR
A Note from our Founders
2021 was a year of reflection and action for many of us. At Revolve Impact, 2021 was the year where we accomplished more than we ever imagined. Facing the COVID-19 crisis, the fight for our collective liberation and the glaring inequities laid bare by both, our agency addressed some of the biggest challenges of our times. It became more apparent than ever before that our work is crucial in supporting the health and safety of our communities. Culture, music, and sports have always been central to our identity as a country, and we utilized these vehicles to address the most critical issues of our times.
We’re proud of the incredible work we were able to do last year with our partners from across the country – check out some of our highlights below!
