Captiv8 Named in Fast Company's Third Annual List of Brands That Matter

The annual list honors companies and nonprofits that have built cultural relevance and impact
through compelling branding and efforts that naturally extend their presence into communities.


San Francisco, CA – October 3, 2023 – Fast Company announced today its third annual Brands That Matter list, honoring brands that communicate and demonstrate brand purpose. These companies and nonprofits have built cultural relevance and impact through compelling branding and efforts that naturally extend their presence into the community.

Captiv8 is proud to be named in the final list, which includes large multinational conglomerates, small-but-mighty companies, and nonprofits, recognizes 165 brands that give people compelling reasons to care about them—and offer inspiration for others to buy in. All 165 have found the ability to forge an emotional connection with customers, whether leading on the environment or pop culture, engaging B2B customers, or responding meaningfully to current events.

All brands that applied were considered for overall recognition. Additionally, there are also
honorees on category-specific lists based on region, size, and status.

“The scale and scope of honorees this year is incredible,” said Brendan Vaughan, Fast
Company’s editor-in-chief. “At first glance, there might not be much in common between brands like M&M’s, Dungeons & Dragons, and healthtech platform WellTheory, but the thread that
binds them is a commitment and purpose as a brand and relevance to their audience, whether that’s through fun, games, or healthcare.”

Fast Company editors judged each brand on relevancy, cultural impact, ingenuity, and business impact to compile the list.

The Fall issue of Fast Company magazine is available online now and will be on newsstands
beginning October 10, 2023.
