We have limited word counts for each agency description, so we won’t have room for all of Allison’s 2022 account wins. Now a global giant, the 21-year-old firm snagged work from AAA, Athleta, GE Power & Water, Hasbro, Grammarly, Mars Wrigley, Moderna, Poshmark, Sennheiser, and TikTok – and that’s just a partial list. Some of its campaigns became the year’s most talked-about, from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s #MoreForMentalHealth initiative to Corona’s global plastic fishing tournament, which removed over 20 tons of plastic from the ocean and garnered over two billion impressions. If that wasn’t enough, Allison launched its new Allison+Sports and BrandGeist divisions this year.
The agency has created one centralized unit for its research and analytics efforts, called the performance and intelligence group. The group, led by one of the agency's partners, Brent Diggins, will offer cross-channel analytics and insights, data science, measurement and research.

Allison+Partners is making it easier for brands to determine their cultural relevance.
The agency has launched an offering called Brandgeist IQ, which is a proprietary methodology that measures a brand’s cultural relevance in real time and compares it with that of other brands.
The need for brands to connect with consumers through culture is an established concept. However, the manner and the speed now required to do so successfully —and in a way that drives bottom-line impact— has evolved faster than the latest fling on “Love Island.” With brands hustling to react to the latest meme, trending TikTok dance or societal crisis, it can be difficult to quantify how these efforts impact cultural relevance, cement customer loyalty and drive brand love.
SAN FRANCISCO: Allison+Partners has launched a sports marketing specialty called Allison+Sports.

The specialty will leverage media and influencer relationships and work collaboratively with brands' marketing operations to drive communications value, Winn said.
