Impactful is a social innovation agency that helps to unlock the potential for social impact in commercially driven businesses.

Our Mission

To enable businesses to transform their role in society. Businesses at their best are created and built to solve problems. They have a vital role to play, alongside governments, individuals and the third sector, in tackling society’s biggest challenges.

Businesses have access to a wealth of talent, expertise, technology and finance which can contribute to scalable, sustainable positive change in society.

We imagine a world where businesses not only create value for shareholders and customers, but also for all parts of the global ecosystem.

Our Story

Our team is made up of Almira, Rima & Max. We met each other on Year Here, a ten month social innovation and entrepreneur fellowship base in London. The four of us were given the brief of helping ForwardPMX an 800 strong, global digital marketing company explore how they could bring their organisational purpose on par with profit. We spent two months immersed in their world, learning about their business and their needs as leaders & staff, developing a bespoke social impact strategic proposal which is being woven into the 2020 strategy.

I would recommend this team to all of my contacts who have meaningful social impact agenda, especially to businesses that are fairly fleet of foot or trying to move things along in a collaborative pacey way.’

James Townsend, Global Managing Director at ForwardPMX, an Impactful Partner

We loved this project so much and saw an opportunity to support more business leaders do the same, so we’re building a venture together to do just this. We’re looking to work with mission driven leaders of small to medium sized organisations who want to explore the ways they can have more social impact.

If this sounds like you or you’re interested in this space too, we’d love to hear from you, please drop us a note at hello@impactful.world.

In the meantime sign up to our newsletter or follow us here, where we’ll share our journey, what we’re thinking about and useful resources we come across as we develop and grow!
