Our Actions & Commitments
Brand New Brand!
For nearly 10 years we’ve lead a pro bono program to rebrand a local nonprofit, for free. We work to benefit our community and give what we do best. The value of this grant is multiplied by our partners and results in an organization better able to fulfill its mission.

Annual Giving
Each year the team votes on a timely, worthy cause for IOP to make a year end monetary contribution. Over the years recipients have included Back on My Feet, Children’s Aid, The NY Times Neediest Cases Fund, Grow NYC, Food Bank for NYC, and many more.
Diversity
Our team is diverse in talent and skills as well as gender, race, age, cultural heritage, sexual orientation, and ability.
Since 2020 we’ve been a certified LGBTQ business and have a female managing partner. We have always prioritized diverse perspectives and people. We are not perfect, but are learning and improving all the time.
Culture
We have committed to hybrid work so our small and mighty team can come together regularly to share knowledge and build relationships that foster great work. We celebrate our successes as a team and give support and shout outs to each other along the way.
Sustainability
We’ve been working in sustainability and responsible business communication for over 20 years, so it is something we live and breathe. Some of the things we do:
- We rarely print things out in the process
- We recycle (sometimes we even wish-cycle)
- In a public-transportation rich environment no one drives to work, we’re remote a few days a week and ~10 weeks a year
- We have a coffee machine that does not use pods or extra packaging
- We support our communities by hiring locally, and sourcing services from local providers where we can
Clients Doing Good
Our biggest impact is through our clients, and our work is focused on helping organizations communicate and be accountable around the biggest issues of our time.
We do great work for people doing good, and have fun doing it.
