London, 12 September 2024 – Global independent marketing and communications agency FINN Partners has been appointed by Extreme Hangout, the community climate action platform, as its agency of record to expand the awareness and impact of Extreme Hangout’s COP29 presence – including its main stage, dedicated workshop space, an extensive exhibition area, more than 500 speakers, diverse panels, workshops and more. FINN efforts will focus on driving awareness and attendance at Extreme Hangout events planned for COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Amber Nuttall, founder, The Extreme Hangout, commented: “We are delighted that FINN Partners will be working closely with us to support our mission to drive climate action. This communications partnership with FINN aligns perfectly in terms of shared values and a joint commitment to sustainable change through the work of our two organisations. We are all aware that COP29 is a critical milestone, and the clock is ticking on our planet’s wellbeing. Through our work with FINN in the lead-up to COP29 in Baku, we will encourage businesses, governments and organisations from around the world, to show their commitment by attending and taking action in Azerbaijan.”

Terri Bloore, Senior Partner, Global Purpose and Social Impact Practice, FINN Partners, added: “As regular COP attendees, we know first-hand the importance that this global event can have as a force for genuine change and our shared values, sustainability goals, and experience in the ESG space mean that we are well-placed to support Extreme Hangout in communicating such an important message.

At Extreme Hangout events, the organisation brings together thought leaders and changemakers to share the best sustainability practices and highlight actionable solutions to boost knowledge, connections and collaborations that advance climate action.

“The work that Amber, Alistair and their team do to empower governments, businesses and global citizens to protect the planet is deep-rooted in their passion and dedication and we are looking forward to supporting them to communicate this important message, as well as contributing to Extreme Hangout’s COP programme through our FINN Partners panel sessions on marketing and communications,” adds Bloore.
