Each of Awareness Ties’ causes features its own Awareness Guide, all hosted on Issuu, that provide definitions, quotes and stats on the causes, along with resources for both getting and giving support. As part of the partnership, Issuu is creating Visual Stories for each guide that can be easily distributed across social media, as well as promoting them on its website, Issuu’s Apple News Channel, in joint blog posts and more. 

“At its core, Issuu seeks to connect people everywhere with meaningful content. We help brands, creators and publishers of all sizes and across verticals amplify their work to enrich the lives of audiences around the world and we are honored to be Awareness Ties’ exclusive partner in helping tell its story, while also bringing attention to these very important causes on a global scale,” said Joe Hyrkin, CEO of Issuu.

Awareness Ties is also supported by a number of prominent ambassadors, including Madeline Stuart, model and advocate; Austin Perine, six-year-old homelessness advocate; Sanita Deck, female football player; Tri Bourne, professional volleyball player; Jessica Yamagucci, gun violence survivor and motivational speaker and Elizabeth Blake-Thomas, director and writer, among others.

“Issuu is the leader in content creation and distribution, making it the perfect partner for our ‘My Cause My Tie’ campaign,” said Jack and Allié McGuire, founders of Awareness Ties. “Utilizing the Issuu platform, we’re able to seamlessly create and distribute our content to the masses across all platforms. The Issuu team has made it easy to not only tell the Awareness Ties story with great impact but also to share the powerful stories of our ambassadors who work incredibly hard to support their causes.”
