"Sustainability communication is central to Mars’ work as a purpose-driven business. Working with a fractional sustainability communication expert like Mike Hower of Hower Impact has given us a flexible, reliable, and high-value resource for supporting our teams across various work streams – from helping create the Mars Net Zero Roadmap and supporting our sustainability reporting efforts to crafting expert sustainability communication content and helping translate our ongoing sustainability efforts into compelling stories for our consumers and other stakeholders."

"Cloudera partnered with Hower Impact to develop and launch the Climate and Sustainability Hackathon, which invited challenged data scientists to develop an end-to-end machine learning project focused on solving one of the many environmental sustainability challenges facing the world today. Hower Impact served as a strategic advisor for the development of the hackathon and also helped create the communications strategy and content promoting the event to maximize participation. Thanks to Hower Impact's expertise in sustainability, climate and communication, the hackathon was incredibly successful and yielded real, actionable climate solutions powered by machine learning."

“Hower Impact’s Writing for Impact Masterclass codified a lot of best practices I had learned on the job into a much clearer framework for writing and gathering feedback. When you work in the comms field for a while it can be easy to get sloppy and adopt bad habits, taking this course forced me to examine my own writing process and develop a piece with more intentionality and thoughtfulness than I had in years. It was also a delight to learn alongside my peers from a variety of industries. Their feedback was useful, kind, and helped build confidence in my ‘professional voice.’ I look forward to applying these skills to my writing projects in 2025 and staying in touch with this thoughtful community of changemakers."
