Our Client

IGNITE ( https://ignitenational.org/) was founded in 2010 to build and inspire political ambition in girls and young women as they are forming their identities and aspirations. They have established powerful evidence that IGNITE’s model moves young women to run and win, and also dramatically increases their political engagement on every level. They have also learned that programming is not enough: they need inspiring messages consistently reinforced and reflected in our culture – words which convey and compel young women to be politically motivated
