As we enter Earth Month, companies stand at a critical juncture: to actively engage or to remain silent? In today's landscape, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues are under greater scrutiny than ever before yet support for these topics remains top of mind for many.  

“Most student-athletes go pro in something other than their sport.”  

April 6 is National Student-Athlete Day—a day when these words from the NCAA commercials ring especially true for several of us here at Zeno Group. Having competed at some of the highest levels of amateur athletics while simultaneously managing course work, internships and everything else associated with being a full-time student, we entered our agency careers well-prepared.  

Here are a few of the lessons we have carried with us.

Experts, leaders, creatives, athletes and artists from around the world gathered at the 2024 SXSW Conference in Austin, TX to share the latest on how technology is and will impact the world around us.  

It was a wonderful whirlwind of listening and learning, but one thing is clear - we are on the precipice of radical change when it comes to tech innovation and the ways it will reshape our economy and society.  

We’ve outlined five topics that will have the most impact.

In simpler times, businesses and brands could concentrate on the products and services they sold, and consumers based their buying decisions on quality and price. Consumers expected businesses to sell products, not save the world. Fast forward to today, where no matter what a business actually sells, considering the world around us and trying to make a positive and meaningful difference in it must be a part of every company's business strategy.

Zeno attended this year’s GreenBiz conference – a 2,500+ person gathering of professionals across the responsible business spectrum, from communicators and marketers to technical experts in topics as wide-ranging as regenerative agriculture, carbon emissions and sustainable packaging.
