PROJECT EVERYONE

Project Everyone is a not-for-profit creative communications agency which was co-founded by Richard Curtis (the filmmaker and founder of Comic Relief). Our mission is to make the Global Goals (also known as the SDGs) universally known and to establish them as the framework by which governments, businesses, and citizens take action and make progress towards a fairer world by 2030. 

We are a team of communications and campaign specialists, mainly based in London, who sit at the heart of a global network of civil society organisations, public sector partners, brands, government departments, UN agencies, public figures and social influencers. We use our creative and strategic resources to curate events, convene partners and create content across digital platforms, advertising sites, media outlets, social channels, physical activations and to garner press attention.

17 GOALS, 1 TEAM

We’re a collaborative, passionate and motivated team working towards an amazing set of Global Goals. We support, nurture and challenge each other daily, and have a relatively flat structure, where feedback and ideas are welcomed. We have created a space based on ideas and passion and are actively looking to welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

We’ve created a set of values that encapsulate what Project Everyone strive for as a team. Our values are simple and underpin how we behave and the standard we set for our work; 

• We value progress for people and planet, with nobody left behind.
• We value creativity to make audacious things possible.
• We value uncomplicated communication of complicated ideas.
• We value nurturing trust, freedom, diversity and passion in our team.
• We value collaboration and great partners.
• And we value maximum impact for the Global Goals, always.
