Creative Integrity: How Leading Brands Are Rethinking Agency Partnerships
More than ever, creatives and agencies are stepping up, refusing to let the industry’s most powerful tools serve its most harmful clients.
In July, over 200 creative leaders backed a UK parliamentary debate calling for a fossil fuel ad ban, signalling growing momentum for ethical reform across the industry.
Now, forward-thinking brands are joining the shift: leveraging their purchasing power to partner exclusively with agencies that match their values on climate, integrity, and equity.
In June 2025, 30+ health bodies representing around 12 million health professionals globally, made a pledge to drop ad and PR agencies that also work with fossil fuel companies.
This webinar marks this shift, outlining the risk of working with agencies who continue to drive planetary and health harm, and the pathways beyond and solutions.
Curated and hosted by Creatives for Climate and featuring the Global Climate and Health Alliance, Clean Creatives and InfluenceMap, it is designed for the health community, brand leaders, and marketing teams who are ready to future-proof their agency relationships.
What you’ll learn:
A clear-eyed look at the historic role of marketing in driving harm—from tobacco to fossil fuels
The growing reputational, legal, and ethical risks of working with agencies that serve fossil fuel interests
The rewards of building trusted partnerships with values-led, mission-aligned creative partners
Practical solutions and emerging tools to help brands bridge the gap between ambition and action
