2025 Responsible Media SummitDriving Accountability & Impact in the Industry
Reflecting on the First-Ever Responsible Media Summit
From the first session to the final conversation, the Responsible Media Summit was packed with powerful insights, real talk, and meaningful connections. Bringing together industry leaders, brands, advertisers, marketers, sustainability experts, and purpose-driven practitioners, the event proved that responsibility in media is no longer a "nice-to-have"—it’s a business imperative.
Hosted at Paramount Advertising, the summit provided space for honest discussions, differing viewpoints, and game-changing ideas in a welcoming, vibrant, and dynamic setting. A huge thank you to all our speakers, attendees, and sponsors who made this impactful gathering possible!

“I am feeling invigorated after Givsly's Responsible Media Summit yesterday that reinforced all of the reasons why I love what I do. 🙋♀️ This was an impactful, purpose-driven meeting of the minds that emphasized how responsible marketing will always help brands win. Period.”
“Responsible marketing doesn't mean reacting to every cultural moment that has no connection to your brand. It's about establishing values and embedding them into everything you do—from product to employee programs to marketing campaigns. Be a values leader, not a follower.”

The Responsible Media Summit was just the beginning of a broader movement to drive accountability and impact across the industry. We look forward to continuing the conversation and growing this community of change-makers. Stay tuned for updates about our return next year!
