Six Nonprofits.
Six Agencies. Infinite Possibility.
Introducing the DarkSky One.
This is more than a concept car.
It’s a statement.
Built to move quietly through the world.
Designed to give the night back to the sky.
Engineered to challenge an industry addicted to excess light.
Because light pollution is now one of the fastest-growing environmental threats on Earth, even if most of us only notice it when a car blinds us at a stoplight.
So instead of telling people to change their lightbulbs, DarkSky International and Bray & Co set out to shift the paradigm not by asking people to change, but by changing the industry itself.
They became an automotive brand.
The DarkSky One was designed to look, feel, and behave like a real car launch, because that’s where the problem lives. Inside an industry that keeps getting brighter, harsher, and more harmful.
On January 14, the DarkSky One makes its official debut at the
Detroit Auto Show.
Not to sell a car. But to start a movement.

Second Responders: The Variable for Trauma Intervention Programs, Inc.
When tragedy strikes, first responders save lives. But when they leave, another kind of help is needed. For nearly 40 years, Trauma Intervention Programs (TIP) volunteers have shown up to provide emotional first aid to those left behind — the survivors, the families, the ones in shock and grief.
With support from SixDegrees.org, Advertising Week, and The Variable, TIP is launching its first national campaign: Second Responders. Anchored by the message “Emotional Rescue Deserves a Response,” the campaign calls on all of us to show up — to care, to listen, and to be there when it matters most.
“Working on a client like TIP does something amazing for our team… working on a brand with purpose is like a balm to the soul.” — Matt Cook, Chief Creative Officer, The Variable

We're proud to debut ‘Where our gals at’, a new pro-bono campaign created with our partners at Rain the Growth Agency and Glamour Gals. At its heart, ‘Where our gals at’ is about connection across generations. It captures powerful moments between teenage volunteers and senior women - proving that compassion can look like a brush of nail polish, a shared laugh, or simply being seen. 💅🏽💛
