Objectives

Bonobos partnered with SoulPancake to create a social series that celebrated the interesting, diverse, progressive men graduating in 2019.

Strategy and Execution

SoulPancake found three emotional, compelling, and important stories of recent graduates who are setting out to change the world. Each graduate had a unique backstory that impacted the path they were choosing to set out on to change world.

Using signature SoulPancake surprise-style storytelling, each of our graduates was surprised by loved ones who expressed their pride and inspiration by these amazing young men.
