We believe in doing great work, and work that does great things,” said Scott Cullather, President, and CEO of [INVNT GROUP]. 

For this year’s Best in Business List, rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world.

Since launch, [INVNT GROUP] has delivered history-making campaigns for a diverse roster of global brand partners and pro bono causes, leading across creative, strategy, design, content, and marketing communications, including:

  • Lamborghini Ultimate : Launched the world’s first 1:1 NFT supercar auction attached to the last physical Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Coupé, in collaboration with Steve Aoki, Krista Kim, and RM Sotheby’s. INVNT.ATOM led the campaign alongside HEVĒ, who produced video content. This collaboration saw 562 million global media impressions and 587 million social media impressions, with the auction closing at $1.6 Million USD – landing it in the top 10 brand new Lamborghinis ever sold at auction.
  • Samsung Galaxy Unpacked Experience : In partnership with Cheil Worldwide, INVNT produced a takeover of Times Square (New York) and Piccadilly Square (London), featuring the world-premiere of a music video by K-pop group, BTS, on large-format billboard followed by a 3-week local, interactive, and experiential popup that averaged 2400 visitors per day, in each city. 
  • General Motors : After producing GM’s CES 2022 Keynote, featuring Chair and CEO, Mary Barra, INVNT led the ‘Factory Zero’ launch, GM’s first all-electric vehicle facility in Detroit. U.S. President Joe Biden toured the facility and delivered a keynote to the press tied to his administration’s sustainability and worker policy plans. GM commemorated the milestone by ringing the NYSE bell directly from the production floor within the facility, alongside local unions, and the GM community.  
  • Circles.Life “Be the Main Character” : INVNT broke ground, introducing Australia’s first-ever 3D out-of-home digital experience merging technology and data; turning influencers and consumers into avatars to deliver messages of connection and humanity. 
  • PepsiCo Expo 2020 Dubai : INVNT designed and built three one-of-a-kind, interactive, and educational pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai. Each pavilion was designed around core Expo themes of Mobility (The Bolt: Gatorade), Sustainability (The Drop: Aquafina), and Opportunity (The Plus: Pepsi Black + Lays), with the project resulting in 246 million global media impressions. Expo 2020 Dubai was open for 6 months, welcoming over 24 million people. 
  • Intimissimi : Folk Hero, developed and reimagined the company’s BrandStory, ultimately leading to the launch of INTIMISSIMI’s new global platform and campaign ’The Art of Italian Lingerie’, featuring Heidi Klum and Lena Klum.
  • AESPA X Blake Kathryn NFT Collection: Aespa, the globally acclaimed female K-Pop group (and the first group in the metaverse with matching avatars) joined forces with visual and digital artist Blake Kathryn and INVNT.ATOM, to launch an exclusive NFT collection via Sotheby’s. The AEGirls collection marked the world’s first collaboration between a K-pop group and a global NFT artist.  

 Some of [INVNT GROUP]’s mission-focused Pro Bono work includes:

  • Championing ‘Freedom for All’ with Dr. Opal Lee – the grandmother of Juneteenth – resulting in the federal passing of Juneteenth as a national holiday in the U.S., talent representation with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), a Nobel Peace Prize nomination, and strategic partnerships w/ Adidas, Smithsonian, NBC, Sephora, and more. 
  • Alongside United Talent Agency (UTA), [INVNT GROUP] hosted the ‘Ukraine Solidarity to Action’ fundraising event by BlueCheck Ukraine, a humanitarian aid initiative co-founded by actor/director Liev Schreiber and Jason Cone. The event raised more than $250,000, with funds going directly towards supporting local Ukrainian NGOs and grassroots organizations providing on-the-ground humanitarian assistance to civilians severely impacted by the war.
  • HEVĒ partnered with Sunflower Network, a non-profit organization focused on providing direct and essential aid to Ukrainians in need, to present the Sonya exhibition; an online and New York City pop-up charity art gallery and fundraising space exhibiting the work of Ukrainian artists and fundraising towards direct aid to Ukraine. The exhibit brought in over $200,000 in fundraising aid. 

Inc.’s honorees were selected in 55 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories.

Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., says, “Inc. magazine is dedicated to showcasing America’s most dynamic businesses and the great things they do. The Best in Business awards shine a light on those that have gone above and beyond their original mission to make a social, environmental, or economic impact, benefiting those around them.”
