Brands everywhere are showing their love for small businesses and the people who own them. Whether it’s PR events, promotions, or online experiences, there is definitely a movement to support small business in this country. A Mystery Sponsor is turning to Tongal to discover what their own-able moment or event is to show how they champion small business.

 

 A little bit about the Mystery Sponsor’s Small Business Division:

-They are human: not faceless suits in high rises, but real people working hard to help small businesses realize their dreams.

-They are simple: challenging the status quo of a bank by making the tools that Small Businesses need accessible.

 

So now it’s time to get creative! Think about all of the passionate entrepreneurs working tirelessly to bring their ideas to life in a small business. It’s hard to do it alone, so that’s where this Mystery Sponsor comes in to arm these Small Business Owners with the tools they need to make their budding businesses successful. Sky’s the limit on this one, just make sure there is a social component to your ideas, meaning that it unites people in supporting small business, whether in person or online.

 

 

The goal of this project is to write engaging Big Ideas for moments that Mystery Sponsor can own.
