Social Impact is the New PR…

Our Evolution: From Award Winning PR & Events Agency to Global Social Impact Firm

Welcome to Maple & Monroe, where our heritage in public relations and event management through Johnson PR & Events (J.PR) has blossomed into a pioneering force for global social impact and sustainability. Our transformation is not just a change of name, but a profound shift in purpose and action, driven by a commitment to making a tangible difference in the world.

Deep Roots in Social Engagement

At J.PR, we were no strangers to social impact initiatives. Our efforts often garnered significant attention, creating moments that captured the public's imagination. However, while these initiatives had their merits, they sometimes fell short of creating the lasting change we aspired to achieve. Recognizing this, our founder, Shakira Johnson, saw an opportunity for a deeper, more meaningful engagement with social impact.

A Pivotal Moment

The year 2020 was a turning point. As the world grappled with unprecedented challenges, it became clear that the need for substantive, impactful campaigns was more critical than ever. Shakira envisioned a new paradigm where social impact wasn't just a byproduct of business activities but the driving force behind them. This vision required a shift from high-visibility events to initiatives that genuinely moved the needle on critical issues.

The Birth of Maple & Monroe

Fuelled by this vision, Shakira embarked on a journey of research, planning, and collaboration. Working closely with the University of Pennsylvania, she delved into the most effective strategies for social impact, exploring how to measure success in meaningful ways. This rigorous process laid the groundwork for the creation of Maple & Monroe, a think and do tank dedicated to catalyzing real, measurable change.

A New Chapter in Social Impact

Maple & Monroe represents a new chapter in our story, where every initiative is designed with the goal of making a positive, lasting impact on society and the environment. Our transition from J.PR to Maple & Monroe reflects our evolved mission to not only raise awareness but to drive action that leads to sustainable improvement in communities around the globe.

Our Mission and Commitment

Under Shakira's leadership, Maple & Monroe is committed to redefining the intersection of business and social responsibility. We leverage the power of design thinking, innovative campaigns, and strategic partnerships to address complex challenges. Our initiatives are meticulously crafted to ensure that we're not just making a statement but making a difference.

Join us as we forge ahead, inspired by our journey from Johnson PR & Events to Maple & Monroe. Together, we can create a legacy of impact, transforming the narrative of social responsibility in the business world.
