After MUCH discussion and debate by the public service committee, we’re ecstatic to announce we’ll be working with Think Kindness to provide a full service marketing, advertising and communications campaign completely free of charge.

Think Kindness is a local non-profit founded by president Brian Williams. The organization aims to inspire change through simple, random acts of kindness. As a motivational speaker, Williams and his Kindness Crew have created several 15-day programs targeted at elementary, middle and high schoolers; and corporations, that challenge individuals to change the world through kindness.

To date, these 15 day challenges have reached 45,000 students with more than 180,000 documented acts of kindness. In addition, Think Kindness has collected more than 50,000 shoes for Soles4Souls and in 2009, received the Thornton Peace Price for its impact on the nation’s youth.

“We’re excited to work with Brian,” said Ad2 Reno public service co-director David Calvert. “Think Kindness is a great organization. They teach kids, adults—everyone—that kindness, no matter how small makes a difference.”

“This is a great opportunity for us,” said Williams. “We’re excited to work with the Ad2 professionals. And with their help, reach even more people.”
