2022 was a busy and active year, we worked alongside people and organizations fighting to build a more sustainable world. Agents of change are proposing and developing solutions for the crises facing humanity from diverse, innovative, equitable and inclusive perspectives.
We start 2023 with communication and advocacy projects which combine creativity and technology to connect organizations, institutions and companies with local, regional and global audiences, generating positive impacts for society and the environment.
Our expertise in strategic communications, media, public relations, audiovisual production, digital marketing and social media supports the work of organizations, companies and people who seek to create a more fair, diverse and sustainable world.
Our work relies on collaborative approaches that stimulate participation, collective, diverse, culturally appropriate and inclusive creation to create solutions that respond to the needs and realities of each of our clients.
We customize processes and methodologies to deliver specialized projects and products using scientific information, life histories, socioeconomic data and statistics, advocacy actions and the involvement and participation of various sectors (grassroots organizations, NGOs, governments, academia, multilateral agencies, among others).
With the help of communication we strengthen the work of organizations, causes and companies in favor of forests, biodiversity, nature; we develop solutions seeking to contribute to combat and mitigate climate change as well as denounce the problems of mining, extractivism, and the loss of biodiversity.
We expand the proposals coming from agents of change who fight for climate justice, racial justice, free, prior and informed consent, popular and solidarity economy, and fair trade. This has allowed us to approach current individual and community demands and bring them into the international arena.
In addition, we also collaborate with agents of change who work for the respect, recognition and full compliance with human rights, free mobility, health, Indigenous Peoples' rights, the rights of the African Diaspora and collective rights.
