A Talk with Ben & Jerry's + Greyston Bakery: How Brands Can Leverage Lived Experiences Responsibly
As a board member of the Impact Communications Institute (ICI), I am excited to share a thought-provoking conversation during one of our Impact Councils that we hosted in partnership with 3BL Media.
In this episode, we explore how open hiring and criminal justice reform can be woven into brand storytelling without objectifying those with lived experiences.
You’ll learn how purpose-driven companies like Greyston Bakery and Ben & Jerry's are turning their values into action and creating inclusive employment opportunities that resonate and drive change.
By focusing on potential rather than past barriers, these organizations are providing second chances while fostering a culture of respect and empowerment.
Whether you're aiming to implement open hiring practices OR seeking to anchor your brand in meaningful values, this episode will empower you to communicate your impact more effectively while creating a more equitable and sustainable world.

How the Canada Post Strike Inspired Hope Centre Ministries to Rethink Direct Mail Delivery
The Canada Post strike began on November 15th, and Shellie Power, the Executive Director of Hope Centre Ministries, is here to shine a light on the fascinating creative strategies she’s crafted to maintain crucial donor communications. (Hint: it’s pretty heartwarming!)
We talk about the strike's ripple effect that has been felt across sectors and how it’s challenging nonprofits to find innovative ways to keep fundraising efforts afloat.
Shellie turned these postal delays into a chance for personal connection with donors. By hand-delivering not just mail, but also cookies, they transformed a setback into a joyful engagement opportunity.
We dig into the logistics of their approach and how it led to increased donations and stronger relationships. This episode is a testament to the resilience and innovation that nonprofits bring to bear during crises, fostering community and connection even amidst adversity.
