Here’s 20 Green Event Tips, Giveaways & Gifts You Should Try this Year
March 15, 2018
2017 was the year for social activism, especially when it came to women. As a business run by a female CEO – we felt that the #MeToo Movement was an extremely important cause to support especially in association with its impact on our industry and discovering new marketing solutions.
Unfamiliar with the #MeToo Movement?
The #MeToo movement significantly gained attention after allegations of sexual assault and harassment by Harvey Weinstein, a well known Hollywood producer. #MeToo is the beginning of a larger conversation, giving people a voice to support survivors and end sexual violence, according to the movements website.
Join the conversation.
With this said, we are thrilled to announce that Tigris Events is the title sponsor of the upcoming event, “The Impact of the #MeToo Movement on Marketing” presented by AMA Toronto on Mar. 21, hosted at the Twitter office.
