Support Diversity and Inclusion with Fuze MKE – Become a Recognized Sponsor!
C2 is proud to be a Milwaukee business. We acknowledge this city and our creative industry have challenges when it comes to diversity and inclusion. We also know there’s a committed community of people who aspire to SOLVE these challenges. C2 is partnering with AIGA-WI, United Adworkers, 414digital and Proc9 to host Fuze MKE, an event that will crowd-source answers to two specific questions (and in doing so, start to solve these challenges):
How can we make an incremental impact on increasing the racial and ethnic diversity in MKE’s Creative Industry in 2019?
How can we make an incremental impact on reducing “everyday sexism”/”clueless” sexual harassment in MKE’s Creative Industry in 2019?
Tuesday, June 18 is just the BEGINNING. C2 is inviting creative industry leaders, D&I-focused affinity groups and creative industry professionals to an event where we answer those questions and then VOTE on the ideas that could make incremental or monumental change in 2019. Proc9 has developed a digital voting mechanism to help tally enthusiasm for the concepts cultivated by attendees.
Following the June 18 event, AIGA-WI, Adworkers and 414digital will champion the most popular ideas and bring them to fruition by the end of 2019.
We’d like your help to make the event and subsequent events a success. A few reasons to get involved . . .
You or your agency:

want to positively impact your own company culture.
want to elevate Milwaukee’s creative community and our city as a whole.

Want to create your OWN sponsorship level? if you’d like to sponsor food, beverages, scholarships or something specific, let us know! We’re grateful for your support and will take it any way we can get it.
Where’s the money going?
- Professional facilitators, Lynette Xanders and Denise Thomas (both are providing their services at a non-profit rate).
- Food and beverages for attendees.
- Financial support to AIGA-WI, 414digital and United Adworkers to bring the ideas generated at the event to fruition by December 2019.
- Funds to provide scholarships for underrepresented students to attend the summer and winter sessions (6-week/36-hour course) of Milwaukee Portfolio School. Two students were already awarded scholarships for the Winter 2019 session.
We’re charging a $10 registration fee to attendees which will include food, one drink ticket and a great interactive session led by professional facilitators. Any remaining funds will be applied to the efforts detailed above. We find attendance increases greatly when registrants pay a nominal fee to participate.
