NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A—B Partners, the trailblazing storytelling and strategy firm, today announced its evolution into NewWorld, a company reimagining how brands build trust and win in the era of misinformation. Through the launch of a disruptive national trust survey conducted with a diverse response pool of over 1,600 individuals spanning key demographics, NewWorld empowers business leaders to identify underserved markets, craft campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences, and achieve measurable growth. This transformation reflects a renewed commitment to reshaping marketing with authenticity, creativity, and trust at its core.
Founded six years ago to challenge outdated marketing norms, NewWorld established itself as a leader in cultural marketing, delivering campaigns that inspire action, counter misinformation, and build authentic connections. Since inception, the Black-owned firm has prioritized using data and insights to shape impactful, strategy-driven campaigns. A multiple recipient of The Anthem Awards, including two golds, NewWorld’s researchers and creative strategists have been trusted by leading national and global philanthropies, including the Ford Foundation, Omidyar Network, and Rockefeller Foundation, to execute cross-sector campaigns addressing critical issues such as ESG advocacy, women’s healthcare, and gig economy reform for drivers at companies like Uber and Lyft.
Notable initiatives include the work NewWorld executed ahead of the release of Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), where the agency partnered with studio A24 to build consumer profiles for diverse AAPI audiences. NewWorld also executed an award-winning global creative campaign for YouTube, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Child Mind Institute (2024) directly targeting adolescents around the world with proven strategies for addressing mental health crises. As a philanthropic partner, NewWorld delivered the The Payback (2024) campaign, engaging over 10 million voters of color to highlight the economic benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act. These efforts showcase NewWorld’s ability to deliver innovative, strategy-driven solutions that resonate with diverse audiences, driving measurable success in brand recognition and engagement. Amid declining public confidence and the growing threat of misinformation, NewWorld stands as a beacon for industries seeking to rebuild credibility.
“Our new research across industries shows that trust is not falling– it's crashing, taking leaders’ credibility with it,” said Andre Banks, founder and CEO. “Trust has become the ultimate currency in an environment where faith in marketing, advertising, tech, and social media companies are at rock bottom. When the old playbooks are driving mistrust more than sales, or growing marketing budgets faster than customer relationships, it’s time to win in a new way. NewWorld is laser-focused on supporting the leaders who recognize that growing trust authentically with diverse audiences is the best way to drive demand in an era of misinformation.”
