Anthem Awards

Our story on Maria’s Kitchen helped to raise awareness of Maria’s Kitchen and the creative way they are helping provide livelihood to local pandan weavers as well as the environment. The campaign also set out to drive traffic to their facebook page where people can message them to order breads, baskets or both.

The Anthem Awards celebrates and champions work across seven core purposes. By amplifying the voices that spark global change, they define a new benchmark for impactful work that inspires others to take action in their communities. Our story was awarded a Silver medal in the Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Campaign - Non-Profit, Awareness Categories
