RISE2025: The marketing conference for inclusive, sustainable brands
A stellar one-day summit delivering essential skills, insights and tools for marketers to build inclusive, sustainable brands.
If your marketing isn’t inclusive, it’s exclusive
We are a global inclusive marketing organisation who partner with ambitious brands to drive inclusive brand strategy, creative excellence, build culture and unlock fresh growth.
Our mission is to empower brands and businesses to expand their social impact and grow responsibly by embedding inclusion and sustainability into brand and marketing strategies.
When you prioritise inclusion throughout the marketing value chain, you drive better innovation, stronger customer relationships, real social impact and more powerful, effective creative.
With you, we design conscious inclusion through our four ‘C’s model: conscious strategy, creative excellence, capability building and culture, and community impact.
We bring together the world’s top marketers to set the standard for progressive marketing

Join best-in-class leaders at the UK's marketing summit dedicated to creating inclusive, sustainable brands that drive both social impact and business growth. After last year's sold-out event with 80+ industry brands, we're raising the bar again.
We have assembled an stand-out lineup of game-changing leaders, experts and CMOs who will transform your approach to marketing excellence.

CV Gaps are gifts, because life happens: Raising a family. Unemployment. Caring for others. Redundancy. Healing. Pressing pause. These aren’t gaps — they’re chapters that build resilience. And they bring a perspective the creative industry needs. That’s why we created the CE Community | Women programme.
Build your brand, inclusively: here’s how…
Conscious Strategy + Systems
Partner with our strategic advisory team to embed conscious inclusion in brand strategy, innovation, AI and supply chains. For transformation projects, we use our ‘Applied bias’ methodology to approach system-change and rewire it for inclusion in processes and practices (R&D, innovation, CX included).
Capability Building
+ Culture Growth
Work with us to identify skills gaps, build toolkits and L&D programmes to foster inclusive cultures and upskill the capabilities of leaders and colleagues. For in-built capability, we codify DEI into your existing process and practices, with training to embed.
Creative Effectiveness
Deliver creative excellence through authentic inclusion within your communication, activations, social and influencer strategy. We can provide quick turnaround ‘clinics’ to review your creative, review your AI policy/strategy, sit on Creative Councils or build your brand/production playbooks.
Community Impact
‘Who makes the work, shapes the work’. We deliver community programmes with impact by empowering your ERG networks, talent and recruitment programmes and securing partnerships. Get involved in our CreativeComeback or Disabled Creatives programme, or run an internal Future Leaders programme.
