Anthem Talks: Building Resilient Communities
Anthem Talks
In conjunction with the 5th Annual Anthem Awards, we’re excited to announce the second year of the Anthem Talks program. Anthem Talks is our annual thought-leadership series focused on trends, consumer insights, and strategies for creating impact.
This year’s Anthem Talk is a roadmap for building stronger, more connected communities in the face of today’s challenges. The powerful case studies presented in the session highlight how resilience is found in community, fostered through powerful storytelling, open communication, and intentional engagement.
Join us to explore real-world examples, key insights, and clear tactics for fostering trust, connection, and impact.
Overview of Building Resilient Communities
In times of uncertainty, one thing remains clear: resilience is rooted in community. Community is where we find strength, shared understanding, and the strength to rise together.
What to Expect:
- An 8-step roadmap outlining how purpose-driven organizations, brands, and agencies are rising to the challenge and building more inclusive, compassionate, and action-driven communities.
- Powerful case studies—from organizations like Planned Parenthood to Google, Sesame Street, and more—show how organizations are adapting, listening, and working with their communities to drive change from the ground up.
- Key findings from our first State of Social Impact Survey, and how communities are seeking deeper engagement, trust, and action.
- The opportunity to collect insights from your team like their perceptions of your community, the content inspiring them, and their ideas for building community through the Moment of Reflection exercise.
Whether you’re an advocate, brand strategist, nonprofit leader, content creator, or someone who simply believes in the power of people coming together, this session will equip you with actionable insights to meet the moment, grow your community, and champion your resilience.
