One of our clients, Mogiv, successfully piloted their new giving platform with the Rock Church this weekend. The Rock launched their new GivUp Campaign and introduced the site to the thousands in attendance at the Rock’s five church services, along with an invitation to ‘GivUp’. Mogiv allows users to financially “GivUp” a daily “fru-fru” coffee, or any number of other luxury purchases, however large or small, and instead donate that dollar amount to the Rock church all via your mobile phone. The GivUp Campaign is a new way to sustainably and more efficiently power the hundreds of valuable ministries that the Rock supports, all of which are run by an army of volunteerism. The idea is that if multiple people commit to ‘GivUp’ something as simple as a morning coffee, that small amount can have a huge financial impact on the community via the work of the ministries. Here at CR, we are honored to see our work be put to such good use! Check out the Rock’s GivUp Campaign, powered by Mogiv.

Hard to fathom, but an interesting article from Fast Company cracks open a conversation as to how a rebrand of US currency could possibly alter, or maybe even boost our global reputation. Currency redesign seems bold; but enjoyable, nonetheless, to see the outcome of creative exercise.
