The Sponge is unbent on working with partners who give back. It’s who we are and it’s what we do.
Since 2000, we’ve grown from 3 creatives in a cabana to big-hearted branders who shine light on great companies. We create feel-good stories about entrepreneurs making a difference – and people line up to listen. Buyers become loyal and customers convert to raving fans.
In 2017, The Sponge became a B-Corp Certified Branding Agency and in 2020 we recertified, upping our game to 107 pts. Being a B Corp guides decisions about our projects and who we do business with. Specifically, we choose to work with clients and projects that are socially responsible, ethical, and environmentally sustainable. And having a positive impact is a must.
We consciously look for ways to reduce our wake. Whether by cutting electricity consumption, or commissioning smaller commercial print runs
A company’s culture is only as strong as its purpose and values. As big believers of this (and your guide to articulating yours), our day to day decisions are directed by our values. We celebrate team members who exemplify these values. And we relish the opportunity to hear stories from you, our awesome clients, about your experiences on the receiving end.
