In 2022, Macy’s launched its new social purpose platform, Mission Every One, to create a brighter future with bold representation for all.

In support of youth empowerment, a guiding principle of this mission, Macy’s launched a multi-year partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) to serve young people through the power of mentorship, creating a path for future success and impact that lasts a lifetime.

In today’s episode, EFG’s Alli Murphy is joined by Sam DiScipio, Senior Director, Social Impact, Macy’s, Inc., and Deb Barge, CDO, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, to talk about their incredible partnership.

  • How the partners created a foundation they could build on year over year
  • How the brand gracefully transitioned from one cause partner to another
  • Insights into building consumer-facing campaigns
  • How to build an authentic, year-round partnership with youth voice, choice, and ownership at the center
