Purpose Collaborative Celebrates Third Anniversary With Global Expansion
20 Feb 2019

As social purpose becomes critical to long-term organizational success, The Purpose Collaborative – the world's first network of purpose-at-the-center agencies and subject matter experts – celebrates its third anniversary. Spanning five continents, the Purpose Collaborative now harnesses the mindshare of more than 400 professionals at 38 member organizations.
The Purpose Collaborative's growth parallels the momentum of an increasingly mainstream global social purpose movement, from Larry Fink's 2018 letter to Blackrock shareholders on “A Sense of Purpose" to the Association of National Advertisers naming “brand purpose" the word of 2018. Founded by Carol Cone, CEO of Carol Cone ON PURPOSE and a social purpose pioneer, the Purpose Collaborative is a new model for consultant-client engagement, with a nimble partners-at-the-center approach supported by a comprehensive network of leading talent in social purpose.
“I founded the Purpose Collaborative as a flexible new model for superb, breakthrough social purpose work. From day one, we have sought to evolve our network and capabilities, and redefine the field of social purpose and what it means to be a leading practitioner developing disruptive solutions that other agency models are not structured to deliver," said Carol Cone, CEO of Carol Cone ON PURPOSE and Chair, Purpose Collaborative.
Highlights from the past year include:
Well over $100 million in total billings, including more than $5 million in revenue generated through 25+ cross-collaborative member projects.
Expansion to 10 global markets, including presence in Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Australia to give members and their clients unprecedented access to leading global purpose practitioners in established and emerging markets.
Launch of Purpose 360, a podcast co-hosted by Carol Cone and Purpose Collaborative member Chris Noble, CEO of Matchfire, which illuminates social purpose as a high-impact business strategy through unfiltered conversations with leaders from Unilever, REI, LG, New York Life, Panera, Kohler and others.
30+ collective awards, including an Emmy Award (Parallax Productions), Time Magazine Best Inventions of 2018 (Carol Cone ON PURPOSE), B Lab Best for the World honoree (Pearl Consulting), Shorty Social Good Award (BBMG), and recognition on the Environmental Finance Voluntary Carbon Market Rankings (South Pole).
Representation (including speaking, moderation, judging) at dozens of convenings around the world, including the Arthur Page Society, Consumer Electronics Show, Social Innovation Summit, Sustainable Brands, SXSW, United Nations Climate Week, and many more.
Release of new breakthrough industry research, including enso's World Value Index and Catalist's Issue Revolution Study.
Members introduced category-defining capabilities, products, and processes in 2018, all to identify, develop, and activate clients' purpose. New capabilities include augmented reality, sustainable financing, SDG integration, B Corp certification consulting, sports sustainability consulting, and purpose-centered data analytics. This complements robust existing capabilities in purpose strategy, video production, employee engagement, social media, digital marketing, product development, and more.
