Formerly known as Gthr, this startup hit the wedding scene with tech that made party planning a breeze without compromising on hosts’ very specific tastes. But the Gthr vibe wasn’t speaking to their It-girl clientele and they had bigger dreams than “I do” celebrations. Milestone anniversaries, spontaneous kickbacks, another trip around the sun, even work events – they wanted to do it all. So we hooked them up with a rebrand that could bring them from startup to scale. Meet, Mostest 🥂 We carved out a true whitespace for the brand, sending it soaring into the next stage of growth. Go Sarah Klingman go! 💓

"The most important step of being "authentic" is that deep work of knowing what authenticity even means for your brand. It's about knowing what your brand really stands for and embodying those values super consistently, and being willing to own that position even if it's not for everyone." - Ben Hennes, CCO In case you missed the livestream, catch this ^ and other quotables on YouTube. Shoutout Yelp for your local business love, and for the panel invite.

Let's get brands out of their fear era, ya? *Loving reminder* Community work should not be treated like a day on your content calendar, and blowback shouldn't lead to silence. Our CEO Emily Stutzman drops some words of wisdom in this must-read piece by Jason Notte and ADWEEK.
Brands know there's more room to represent LGBTQ+ communities in their marketing. So why don't they do it? They're afraid. As the Association of National Advertisers shared exclusively with ADWEEK, 82% of marketers believe there’s still significant room for more marketing that includes LGBTQ+ people, but just 55% of brands actively marketed to or included the LGBTQ+ community in their marketing. The survey conducted in August and September 2023, just after the Bud Light and Target boycotts found that brands knew representative ads positively impacted brand perception (97%) and increased brand loyalty (83%). While 93% of marketers think it is important to represent the LGBTQ+ community in their ads—up from 79% in 2021—another 82% think more positively of a company that actively markets to LGBTQ+ consumers (up from 66% three years ago). “The message is clear: There is both a need and an opportunity for deeper inclusion strategies with LGBTQ+ consumers,” said Bob Liodice, CEO of the ANA. But brands are deeply afraid of both potential consumer blowback and not finding brand-safe environments for their message (39% each), despite ANA AIMM reporting in October that 77% of consumers would stop buying from brands that back away from promises to diverse groups and causes. “Brands today are making decisions to step away from inclusivity because they’re hearing the message from 11% to 13% of the population, which is very unfortunate,” said Lisette Arsuaga, co-founder of AIMM. ADWEEK spoke with RanaVerse founder Rana Reeves and Happylucky co-owner Emily Stutzman about the current marketing reality and the steps brands could take to build lasting relationships with LGBTQ+ audiences.

Flowers While They Are Still Here aimed to recognize the impact, value, and worth of black leaders now. We worked with 7 leaders across 4 different states, creating bespoke events within their communities and of their communities. We partnered with these community leaders to increase their impact through educational content on the adidas Community platform. 2023 HBE Honorees: Adam Francique, Kimberly F.
