Six Campaigns. Real Impact.

For the inaugural Purpose, Produced, SixDegrees.org and Advertising Week brought together six nonprofits and six world-class agencies, each pair creating a national awareness campaign built to move people and drive real change. Together, they reached hundreds of millions, earned national recognition, and turned awareness into action.

These are their campaigns. Explore the work below, and the impact it made.


The Moment It All Became Real

Before the campaigns, before the impact, there was this: the moment six nonprofits found out they’d been chosen.

For organizations that give everything to their communities, a moment of recognition like this means everything.

Introducing Girlhood, a new campaign to fight sex trafficking created for SHERO Foundation by agency partner Duncan Channon launched in partnership with Advertising Week as part of the inaugural Purpose, Produced initiative. The work shows girlhood as something vivid and powerful, and reminds us how sex trafficking strips away a girl’s safety, agency and possibility – and that it rarely looks how people imagine. Girlhood seeks to restore power to those who might be targets and to the people in their lives who want to protect them.

Girlhood is the final campaign from the inaugural group of six Purpose, Produced partners. It’s a heavy subject, approached with thoughtfulness and beauty — and a meaningful way to close this first chapter of the initiative. End sex trafficking. Stand with survivors. Protect girlhood.

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.

The impact
25M+ earned media impressions
$900K+ earned media value

Beyond the numbers, the campaign helped spark congressional attention on vehicle headlight regulations and light pollution, and a National Dark Sky Week resolution passed Congress in April 2026. DarkSky International is now the official nonprofit partner of the Star Trek 60th Anniversary celebration.

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

The impact
894K+ Meta impressions
4.6K+ LinkedIn impressions

The campaign was honored with a Telly Award for Public Service PSA, featured on Clio's Ads of the World, and even inspired a custom song by TikTok's Emo Cop.
