​Today’s leading consumer brands are investing in their community.

​​To celebrate 4 years of Following the Footprints, and ahead of Valentine's Day, we’re partnering with Patagonia to share 'a love letter to community’. Our third ‘Open Mic’ discussion will share different perspectives on how brands can both build community and leave a positive impact on the communities around them.

​Hosted at Patagonia's Manchester showroom, we'll have the chance to learn more about a brand that's been the cornerstone of our industry, and many local communities, since the 1970s.

​All are welcome. Drinks and light refreshments will be shared.
