Creative Social Engagement

We don't easily fit in a box, but if you're trying to categorize SS+K, we could be described as a marketing + communications agency specializing in creative social engagement.


Seventeen years ago, SS+K was founded to provide great work for great clients and causes by defying the boundaries of communication at every turn. That philosophy has come to life through dozens of engagement channels over the years, from the world’s first interactive cinema game to a bank blog on responsible finance. From a yellow wristband that became a worldwide phenomenon to a digital grassroots program to eradicate texting while driving.

We create movement and Movements.


We’re helping big iconic brands like GE, GM, Kraft, Allstate and Citi use digital and social engagement channels to launch products, initiatives and image campaigns. We’ve helped smaller, iconoclastic brands like Honest Tea create noise in crowded spaces and with limited budgets. We’ve helped organizations like Obama for America and the Department of Education mobilize challenging audiences (youth) and non-profits like The Gates Foundation and the World Health Organization elevate global poverty and disease on the international agenda.

These experiences leave us ready to tackle almost any communications challenge with our unique approach to engaging audiences and creating movement.

What we've done
Selected Case Studies
MiO

When Kraft’s first new product launch in fifteen years also happens to redefine the entire beverage category, it calls for a big splash. Or, in the case of liquid water enhancer MiO — a sizable squirt. We took the digital + social reins and went to town.

Chevrolet

A 2-minute social media video explains how Chevrolet plans to put $40 million of its marketing budget over the next 3-5 years toward community projects to reduce CO2 emissions.

Obama For America

Working as the part of the Obama Media Team, our job was to help mobilize young voters in 22 battleground states. We created a multi-media political campaign that broke new ground for major party political campaigns. In other words, it was pure Obama.

Honest Tea

Part guerrilla stunt, part social engagement experiment, ‘The Honest Store,’ was a pop-up shop stocked with ice cold Honest Tea. With nothing but a money box + a sign requesting “$1.00 on the Honor System,” we tested the honesty of six cities across the country.

Allstate | X the TXT

Texting + driving is killing thousands of American teenagers every year. We’re working with Allstate to engage teens + their parents by pledging not to text + drive.

Let’s Move

We’re working with Michelle Obama + her childhood obesity initiative.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation

With Nike + the Lance Armstrong Foundation, we helped develop the yellow LIVESTRONG wristband + create a social phenomenon.
