As part of our Season’s Greetings campaign, we’re shining a light on the incredible ways UP members give back - and Mattias Isaksson’s work with the Ecocide Law Alliance is a standout example. The Ecocide Law Alliance is leading the charge to make ecocide—severe environmental destruction—a recognized crime under international law. For Mattias, this work is personal: "It’s a no-brainer for me. Protecting the planet is protecting ourselves and future generations. I for sure don’t want to answer my grandchildren why I did nothing even when the evidence was staring me right in the face. It is really the missing piece of the puzzle to have crimes against nature, aka Ecocide, as an international crime under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court" By raising awareness, building networks, and driving impactful communication, Mattias is helping ensure a sustainable future for all. 🌱 🎄 Let us plant a tree on your behalf this season. 🎄 UP has teamed up globally with Evertreen, whose mission is to transform the world, one tree at a time. With our roots in Sweden, surrounded by forests, this appeals to us. So, join us as we celebrate the season of giving. Together, we can spread a little light, plant trees, watch them grow — and bring more hope across the globe. Visit the link in the comments to find out how. ✨

Today, we’re celebrating Cordell Burke, who’s bridging the gap between aspiring creatives and seasoned pros. He’s offering students real-world guidance while giving industry experts a way to pay it forward with the Norwich Big Book Crit x DMA Talent. Here’s what Cordell shared: "Students have always found it challenging to get in front of creative heads whose busy days often make them inaccessible to their own department and never mind the outside world. And unless those creative heads have a close link with a particular university/college course then students tend to miss out on real world advice and guidance. I’ve been lucky to have been guided by some of the finest creatives in advertising and marketing over many years so it’s important that I pass that knowledge and experience onto the next generation directly whenever possible as a way of saying ‘thank you’." This is just one of the ways our UP members are making an impact and spreading joy. 🌟 🌳 Don’t forget, as part of our Season’s Greetings campaign, we'd love to plant a tree on your behalf!
