APCO Worldwide has signed on to represent New York-based Global Citizen, the nonprofit dedicated to eradicating extreme poverty by 2030.
The GC platform relies on social action such as events, content, partnerships and grassroots organizing to generate funds.
It's high-profile Global Citizen Festival held last September in Central Park featured performances by The Killers, Steven Wonder, The Lumineers and The Chainsmokers.
