Liquified Creative’s 15 ways to give back

0

If there’s one word that stands out from the thickness of the coronavirus pandemic, then for us, it’s “together”. From “we’re in this together” to “together we can stop the spread” you’ve heard it countless times, and for good reason. Together gives us a sense of community, and that’s why it’s so important to us to reinvest in our local Anne Arundel County community. It strengthens our connection and sense of belonging, well – together.

We like to think of ourselves as an ad agency with heart and soul, and that’s why giving back to our community is just one of the ways we’re building a positive, giving, and outward-looking culture.

For our 15e birthday here at liquefied creative, we’ve put together a list of 15 of our favorite ways to make a positive impact right here in Annapolis and throughout Anne Arundel County. Interested in getting involved with us? Click on the links below and find out how we can make it happen – together!
