join the movement

When we’re not moving needles, we’re joining movements.

As passionate as we are about promoting social media, we are also dedicated to promoting social good. Because of a family connection to the disease, Needle Movement makes an annual donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and we encourage others to make a contribution.

Our reliable sidekick and rescued border collie Nico would also like to encourage people to support local shelters like Sean Casey Animal Shelter , which have helped save thousands of dogs like her.

 
 
 
 

workshops and appearances

We appear on podcasts, moderated at digital conferences and conduct workshops inside companies. Reach out below for any press inquiries.

We can’t say “yes” to each request (though there’s a pretty good shot that we will). And we love to support the communities around eCommerce and mission-driven brands

For companies in the New York City area, Needle Movement is also available for concentrated one to two-day eCommerce workshops. These work sessions are designed where we meet with an in-house marketing team and then dive in to identify the biggest issues hindering growth and then, to deliver actionable changes from start to finish.

Have to say that Needle Movement delivered above and beyond. They dug deep and uncovered issues I did not even know I had.  Having a competent consultant like Stephen hone in on my exact needs was incredibly valuable.
