Leo Love chicago:

In 2013, Leo Burnett looked

into a more streamlined way of giving back to the community. Who do we help? What is our approach? These questions led to a strategy that created solid collaboration with a few, select non-profit partners. During our first year we were able to track and donate 7,500 employee volunteer hours, redesign two non-profit brands and internally raise over $175,000. This enforced what we already knew: we have a lot of love to give. A lot of Leo Love.



What is Leo Love? Leo Love is a community outreach program, a key part of Leo Burnett’s Corporate Social Responsibility. An organized program that gives us the ability to dedicate our time, talent and resources as well as efficiently track and report our achievements. Together, this contributes to the growth of our people, our community and those who stand along beside us.

Who do we help? We focus on organizations that support children (our future), creativity (our talent) and Chicago (our home). While each Leo Love partner has a unique mission, they all share the same goal: to provide local youth with the tools needed for success. This gives every employee, in every department, the opportunity to help make a difference in the life of a child.


“Our team is thrilled with the continued generosit y of your agency. We will make excellent use of the donated items.” CHICAGO SHAKESPEARE T H E AT E R

Renatta McCann EVP, Leo Burnett Chief Talent Officer Chicago Shakespeare Theater Board Member




What is our approach? We start each year by hosting an awareness event where employees and non-profit partners come together to talk about their goals. This allows us to focus our time and arrange volunteer opportunities, dedicate our talent by doing creative and strategic work and sharing our resources by streamlining our fundraising and donation efforts. The year ends with our Giving Tree, where employees pick “apples� and purchase wish list items to benefit those in need.

Leo Love volunteers

at Leo Burnett London believe, ”You don’t always need to make big gestures to make meaningful changes.” They simply give a little bit of help to people who would really need it. Last year, over 50 people helped in local projects, ranging from making costumes for the Notting Hill Carnival to Business Enterprise Days in schools. All of their hard work earned them the award for Best Contribution for Employee Volunteering in Hammersmith & Fulham.
