02 - Our Values

We believe in the brilliance in communities. We believe multicultural is mainstream, and Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Black, Latine, AAPI, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities are the New Majority. We believe in telling the truth, even when it's tough. We believe in operating with excellence. We believe in treating people well. We believe in confronting tough stuff head on, but always finding hope. We believe relationships are for the long run. We believe in results. We believe that we're in this for something bigger than ourselves

Excellence in Marketing & Communications for

Chime Financial Progress Month and What’s Good

The Communicator Awards

Excellence in Marketing & Communications for

Chime Financial Progress Month and What’s Good

The Communicator Awards

Values Partnerships received two Communicator Awards honoring creativity that connects purpose with people. Our partnership with Chime turned Financial Progress Month into a cultural moment — from a classroom takeover at Clark Atlanta University with T-Pain and The Budgetnista to an inspiring event in Oak Cliff with actress Paige Hurd.


Our original series What’s Good carried that same spirit forward, spotlighting changemakers and ideas shaping culture today. With partners like DoorDash, Paramount, and others, we launched the inaugural Brotherhood Awards, tackled themes like the loneliness epidemic, and featured conversations with leading voices across film, television, and the arts.
