Scream Agency hopes to inspire brands to be a change for good. By sharing stories about brands that create impact and change both in our businesses, communities and world, we know the “be good” message will spread. Our creed is to make it contagious.
We are a group of strategic storytellers with a purpose for good. We use our expertise of marketing, branding, public relations, social media, digital/web and corporate social responsibility to help find a brand’s purpose and story, both in messaging and visuals. At the heart of everything we do is our drive to create positive change.
To search out purpose every day. To be seen. To be heard. To be good.

SUSTAINABILITY IN OUR WORKPLACE
Greening of Scream
Scream Agency encourages all employees to be good stewards for our environment and our community. We participate in Xcel Energy’s Windsource program and offset 100% of our electricity usage from this renewable energy. We recognize the importance of protecting the environment and will minimize the environmental impact of work practices carried out by our organization.
Our environmentally sustainable work practices include:
Transportation
Our team utilizes environmentally friendly multi-modal means for transportation (over 35% of our team uses biking, walking, buses, lightrail and ride share daily).Reduce
We use goods which stop waste from being generated; reduce waste by choosing products that have minimal packaging and can be used productively and then recycled. We’ve implemented composting.Re-use
We re-use containers, packaging or waste products, wherever possible.Recycle
We recycle waste material into useable products, wherever possible. We have removed the garbage cans by our work desks and home computers and replaced them with recycling bins/boxes so that we think about recycling before throwing things away.Energy Usage
Everyday we remind ourselves to:- Turn off our computers or put it in sleep mode both at our desks and at home.
- Unplug computers, lights and devices from the wall when not being used for charging.
- Replace lightbulbs to compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) when needed.
Vendor Sustainability
Scream Agency works with local vendors, suppliers and partners whenever possible. We screen our providers (particularly printers) to review the types of environmental and social impact practices that are in place (i.e. recycled paper, soy inks, recycling efforts, fair labor practices, and more). From the supplier diversity perspective, we encourage the use of minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, Small Business Administration (SBA)-defined small businesses.Our CSR Goals
In 2019, our goals were to start composting and decrease trash by 10%. We were able to begin composting and because we were more mindful of recycling and composting, we were able to divert trash from the landfill by 43%.SCREAM SERVES
