The Determined uses innovative design strategies to amplify climate projects so they create huge impact.
In a world that is scrambling to adapt to one of humankind’s gnarliest problems, you need to present your impactful solutions in the most approachable, understandable, and competitive ways possible.
You need to quickly build a brand that stands out and wins the support from as many people as you can; funders, partners, employees, customers, donors, volunteers.
