Our daily lives, work and leisure-time have changed within a couple of weeks and so have companies, which many have gone through big changes.
Staying home is the best way to help, but we can’t deny that for some industries is not that easy and certain businesses like small shops or local entrepreneurs are in danger of losing their job. Thankfully, there’s always people with good heart and also some with brilliant ideas who cope all they can.
Making the best out of their creativity and taking advantage of the digital space, agencies not only are working from home and maintaining business as usual, but also making the time to help those needed.
Check below some of their most recent projects that we can all participate or get inspired to try to come out of this situation in the best way possible.

The club presented The One Club COVID-19 Jobs Board, a free service to support the industry during the global pandemic by connecting job seekers around the world with agencies, studios, companies and brands looking to fill open positions. Plus? The new jobs board is free and open to anyone!

The agency has published a working from home guide made exclusively by parents, for parents from Huge’s Parents Affinity Group. But the guide serves as a useful resource for all adults at home with kids, so Huge has kindly shared it publicly as a resource for the larger community. You can check it out here.

Shop Responsibly is an initiative created by Publicis Groupe UK, backed by major consumer goods companies, that looks to encourage consumers to shop responsibility during the coronavirus outbreak. The campaign aligns with government advice of staying home, respect elderly shopping hours, keep two metres apart, support NHS shopping hours and only buy what you need.
