In 2022, five members of our Ashfield Excellence Academy, an Inizio Engage company participated in AstraZeneca’s Physical Disability & Access to Healthcare Hackathon 2022.
Our team created the winning solution for the hackathon by proposing an app-based solution to combat the loneliness associated with bipolar disorder. Their app, “Bee you,” enables individuals with bipolar disorder to connect with a community and feel supported, so they can be themselves.
We are incredibly proud of our employees for creating an innovative solution that addresses an important social issue.
Evoke, an Inizio MarComms company, operates a Multicultural Marketing Centre which has designed Operation Good Food & Beverages, a pro bono initiative that aims to challenge the longstanding negative impact of food advertising on black youth.
Studies have shown that 70% of all food and beverage advertising promotes unhealthy choices. However, black youth are disproportionately exposed to these messages, with a two to three times greater likelihood of being targeted by such ads. This alarming trend has contributed to the rising rates of obesity, diabetes, and other related health issues in the black community.
This movement for food justice was a youth-inspired initiative that leverages essential community organizations and influencers to amplify its message and spark a good food revolution.
By working together with community organizations and influencers, Operation Good Food & Beverages has shown that it is possible to address complex social issues and drive meaningful change.
