Climate change, disruption in all levels of the United States government, COVID-19’s unexpected ripple effect — if anything is constant about the last few years in our world’s history, it’s change. Many large-scale shifts are out of our immediate control, but the smaller changes we experience daily can add to this overwhelm. Change jump-starts our innate fear of the unknown by turning what we know on its head and confronting us with the concepts of loss and uncertainty. But change can also be the catalyst to finding hidden opportunities for growth and success, and getting comfortable with leaning into the discomfort they bring can be the key to rising above it all.

Soon-to-be former VP of Marketing at SRAM, David Zimberoff (DZ), earned a highly-unique departure gift: he got to select the replacement for his role at SRAM to pursue his dream of designing a low-cost, sustainable, mobility solution for rural communities.

At very first glance, Sunsoil, a Vermont-based organic CBD company, may seem like “one of many” when it comes to the increasingly saturated CBD supplement market. But a look through their website, their branding and even a cursory second glance at their story will leave you happily surprised.

As the calendar flipped from December to January, all of us at KSV did a little celebratory dance. Yes, a tough and chaotic year had come to an end, but we were celebrating for slightly different reasons: for our agency, the calendar flip meant a fresh look and a doubled-down commitment to fighting for a more sustainable existence through purpose-driven work and meaningful community partnerships.
