We are joined by Ebony Gaylor, Managing Partner of newly launched social cause agency Decade of Action, a partnership with Thinkerbell's Adam Ferrier and Margie Reid.

Ebony has held key strategy and social change roles, most recently for the Australian Red Cross. We discuss Ebony's background and childhood, and the motivation behind Decade of Action, and why businesses play a critical role in addressing urgent global challenges over the next 10 years and beyond.

We discuss how business has a critical role to play and needs to take more targeted and authentic action. We explore the key role of evidence in identifying critical causes, that may seem left of centre to many of the more visible issues that come top of mind.

And approaches to working with influential businesses, brands, governments and movements to boldly define their purpose platform and galvanize their assets, ideas and to have a positive impact on the world.
