Mitchell

Mitchell has been enlisted by FosterMore, a non-profit organization that works to raise awareness about foster care, to provide public relations and earned media expertise to drive media coverage for the group’s #DonateYourSmallTalk initiative. Mitchell has partnered with ad agency mcgarrybowen on the campaign, which asks people to devote the time they usually spend on small talk to spreading the word about foster care, inspiring dialogue and action around the issue. The campaign encompassed PSAs and ads, as well as a “trash bag activation” in which trash bags with a message about foster care were piled up on New York City streets, drawing the attention of passersby. Mitchell employed wide outreach to national and regional media around the United States, with the message appearing across ABC’s major channels, including ABC.com, “Good Morning America” and “The View.” FosterMore also sponsors Give Back, a program that provides college scholarships and mentoring to students who have faced economic hardship and other adversities.

The addition of Northfork expands Brandware’s technology footprint, joining tech brands that include Yi Technology, CXC Simulations and Client Command.
