Disney Advertising is passionate and dedicated to elevating diverse voices and announced a pledge in 2021 to support underrepresented-owned small businesses*. To honor this pledge, Project Elevate was born, offering creative consultation and comprehensive, custom advertising strategies to help them tell their stories and engage directly with their customers. In its inaugural year, two small businesses, CAVO and Glow Recipe, were selected to participate in the program, and they’ve spent the past year working hand-in-hand with various Disney Advertising teams to take their businesses to the next level. Take a look at what they had to say about the Project Elevate experience!
