"Wow - Luke and his team worked with us at Ben & Jerrys in Australia over 2023 and I cannot recommend Compass more highly! The activism work we do can be tricky, and hard for many media companies to really do well, but Luke, Jonas, Mel & the rest of the Compass team absolutely blew it out of the water! Not only did they get incredible results for the campaign, on a personal note they are a pleasure to work with and go above and beyond every time. Thanks Compass for a great year working together!"
