DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES
Over the past few years, much discussion has taken place about what is the next evolution of
corporate citizenship. And yet, a real look reveals no “right” balance between philanthropic
donations, environmental initiatives, community programs or skills-based pro bono work.
The truth is, there is no easy answer or one-size-fits-all solution.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
MICHAEL KEMPNER / President and CEO
Here’s what we do know: true corporate citizenship starts by
looking inside, and seeing what your business and your employees
can do to make a positive impact. At MWW, we call this Mattering
More. It is the mantra that runs through everything we do – be it
serving our clients on a day-to-day basis, making decisions that
affect our business and employees, or serving our communities.
We always ask ourselves, How can we Matter More?
For more than 25 years, MWW has worked tirelessly to be a
trusted and valued corporate citizen. As a result, we have spent
a lot of time thinking about how to make a difference, both
internally and externally, through charitable works, philanthropic
efforts and the work we do for our clients. This has made our
programs – and most of all, our clients – more sophisticated,
but we know we are just beginning.
At MWW, each person offers a unique contribution, passion,
idea, and motivation that betters our business – and we use
those attributes to matter more to our communities. In 2013,
MWW transitioned from just being a responsible, sustainable
corporation to creating a culture of citizenship that trickles
down to every employee and client – a culture in which the
corporation shares the core values of its citizens and utilizes
service as a solution to address societal needs.
MWW has invested in supporting some of the most pressing
priorities shared by our employees, clients, and neighborhoods.
The following report gives a glimpse into our commitment from
promoting youth employment opportunities with NFTE and
Homeboy Industries to our volunteer efforts and work in New
Jersey to help recover from Superstorm Sandy. In 2013, we were
honored to have been a part of the national A Billion + Change
campaign where we have joined forces with industry-leading
companies to increase awareness of the real impact that
corporate citizens can have through skills-based volunteering.
This report is more than a rundown of feel-good activities –
it’s the MWW blueprint for our ongoing effort to sharpen and
share employee talents through pro bono and skills-based
work, and to support the responsible practices that we believe
matter most. You can learn more about our commitment
to corporate social responsibility in the pages that follow,
including real-life, people-powered accounts of how our staff
reaffirms this commitment.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 5
After moving to New York City from Dallas in 2011, I was eager to
get involved in my new community. New York City has no shortage
of non-profits, so I wasn’t sure where to begin. All I knew is that I
wanted to make a real difference in someone’s life. After speaking
to my network about what they were involved in, New York Needs
You (NYNY) quickly stood out in the crowd.
Founded in 2010 by a network of Wall Street young professionals,
NYNY is a two-year long intensive mentoring and training program
for first-generation college students to help them succeed in their
future careers. In addition to being the first in their families to
attend college, several of the students also are first-generation
Americans and crafting their very own American Dream here
in New York City. The students, called Fellows, meet with
professionals, called Mentor Coaches, one to two times per month
for day-long Saturday workshops on various topics ranging from
public speaking to resume and cover letter writing to subsidized
test preparation. Fellows and Mentor Coaches also meet outside
of workshops for additional relationship building.
I applied and was accepted as a 2012 Mentor Coach and couldn’t
be happier with my experience. My fellow is majoring in Music
& Business at Lehman College. Shy and unsure when we first
began working together, in one year I’ve witnessed an incredible
transformation in her enthusiasm, poise and potential. She’s
grateful for our work together, but I’m
indebted to her and NYNY for an awe-
inspiring journey, and for making
my new home of NYC a better
place to be.

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 12
It has always been important to me to remember my Italian
roots and to be of service to the community. When I was asked
to join the Garfield, New Jersey chapter of UNICO National,
the largest Italian-American service organization in the United
States, after graduating college in 2009, I could not pass up
the opportunity to not only help others, but to also learn about
myself and where I came from.
I have taken my media relations and communications skills
to serve as the Public Relations Manager for our chapter.
I coordinate all correspondence with the media, draft any
written material that is needed, and counsel the chapter on
communicating and marketing events and fundraisers.
As an organization, we fundraise for a number of various
charities and serve our local community members who are in
need. Our largest service project of the year is in December,
where we purchase close to $3,000 in food for 50 families in the
Garfield community and deliver it to their door for the holidays.
It’s projects like this that help us all appreciate what we have
in our daily lives.

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 17
Michael’s Feat is named in loving memory of baby Michael Gerard
Puharic, who was born on July 29, 2000 to Adam and Dana
Puharic. During the pregnancy, Dana and Adam were informed
that Michael would face grave health problems resulting from a
chromosome disorder known as Trisomy 13. Sadly, his life lasted
only 83 hours. His brave struggle and the love and caring he
brought out in people remains an amazing accomplishment. This
is Michael’s “feat.”
As a close friend of the Puharics, I became involved with Michael’s
Feat from its inception. The Puharics were grateful for all of the
care they received from the staff at Monmouth Medical Center
where Michael was born. The Michael Gerard Puharic Memorial
Fund, Inc., a local 501c3 non-profit organization, was dedicated
to giving comfort and easing the burden for parents carrying and
caring for seriously ill newborns.
Michael’s Feat offers families in need direct financial support,
overnight bags filled with supplies for hospital stays, furniture and
medical equipment, meals, gas cards and, if necessary, respite care.
Beginning as a volunteer and fundraiser, I became a board member
of Michael’s Feat in 2002 and served in that capacity through the
end of 2012. Over that time period, I coordinated all of the public
relations outreach for the organization in addition to serving as a
fundraiser. Today, I continue to provide public relations support.
In a dozen years, Michael’s Feat has assisted hundreds of families
in the Monmouth and Ocean County communities and has raised
over $1 million to support these families in need and to provide
Monmouth Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical
Center with state-of-the art equipment and technology for their
Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The organization has built
Resource Center rooms in both Monmouth Medical Center and
Centre State Hospital in Freehold so families have a place to
gather during their visits to the NICU.
Thirteen years later, baby Michael
continues performing “feats.” All
of those involved and the families
that have benefited, are grateful
for his inspiration.

MWW represents national and multinational companies across a wide variety of market sectors.
We share a passion for the missions of our clients and a commitment to helping them drive real
business results. We are fanatical about doing what truly matters.
We don’t take a siloed approach to client services - we
work together across practice areas and disciplines to
craft the solutions and strategies that make our clients
matter more than the competition. That’s part of our
“Matter More” philosophy, which is manifested not just
in the programs we design, but in the partnerships we
build with our clients.
HERE’S WHAT WE DO REALLY, REALLY WELL:
Even before “CSR” was a term, there was the idea of just
doing good things, and it has always been part of MWW’s
corporate ethos. We are committed to continually
challenging ourselves to find new, sustainable and
impactful ways to Matter More to our clients,
employees and communities.

We know that citizenship is very much top of mind in many companies today, but there’s a wide gap
between wanting to do something and doing it in a way that is sustainable and has an impact. To
help our clients bridge that gap, we create sustainable and impactful citizenship programs that are
intrinsically linked to a company’s overarching business strategy.

The New Jersey Economic Development Authority selected MWW to manage a public relations and
advertising initiative to raise national and local awareness that the Jersey Shore is open for business
and ready for the summer following Superstorm Sandy. Dubbed “Stronger than the Storm,” the campaign
highlighted the region’s ongoing recovery and preparedness for the summer of 2013 tourist season.
MWW’s consumer campaign enlisted locals and tourists alike to have fun in the sun at events ranging from
sandcastle building to free boating to celebrity concerts, all to bolster the state’s economy. After all, the shore
composes the largest portion of New Jersey’s $38 billion tourism industry and is a major source of jobs and
economic activity. In addition to being a central component of the state’s economy and workforce, the Jersey Shore
is one of our nation’s great environmental and recreational treasures.
Starting on Memorial Day, MWW worked tirelessly to promote the campaign through events, social media, and
traditional media. By Labor Day, results were tremendous – MWW garnered over 319,000 supporters to attend 43
events; placed 1,740 articles seen by over 1.25B readers; and kept over 103,000 online fans and 202 million Twitter
users up-to-date throughout the summer.

MWW helped Samsung create its Mobile App Academies, now in its second year. The program, which introduces

and encourage them to explore career paths in technology, while also giving them the tools to develop “the next
big thing” in mobile applications.
At the conclusion of the program, which was developed in partnership with Scholastic, the students have an
opportunity to present their app ideas for a chance to win a college scholarship. In 2013, the events were
enormously successful in each city, with hundreds of students applying for one of only 30 spots.

From conducting media outreach on behalf of the
Ronald McDonald House Charities Scholarships to
promoting the wonderful work the Ronald McDonald
Houses do, we ensure the community is aware of the
brand’s efforts. In 2012, MWW saw the opportunity to
leverage McDonald’s resources to empower community
organizations to run effective nutrition programs in the
regions where McDonald’s operates.
This resulted in “McDonald’s New York Metro Nutrition
Network,” a nutrition education initiative to provide
seed funding to community organizations for nutrition
awareness and education programs. We also leveraged
our expertise in Public Affairs to promote this goodwill
among key public officials within the Operators’
communities. The award-winning program saw
tremendous results, and is now in its second year.

In December 2012, Verizon hosted a forum to help

While large companies have recognized the benefits
of embracing environmental sustainability policies,
small businesses are often unaware of the economic
benefits of going green and may be tentative in
seeking out more information.
Verizon’s forum let small business know that they
can reduce their impact on the environment and
save money at the same time. MWW acted in close
partnership with Verizon to develop objectives for the
forum, select the best speakers and presenters, and
spread the word to small businesses.
MWW was also a key participant in the forum

Known for their “goode” take on food, wine and life,
Murphy-Goode has launched a new red, blended
varietal - Homefront Red. Incorporating Syrah, Merlot,
Petite Sirah and Zinfandel grapes, Homefront Red
is a great sipping wine and the perfect companion
to tailgate season, pairing well with grilled dishes
and marinades. Beyond its food-friendly qualities,
Homefront Red offers much more – relief for veterans
and military families in need. For every bottle sold, a
portion of the proceeds from Homefront Red will go to
Operation Homefront, the non-profit organization that
provides emergency financial assistance to veterans
and their families. Murphy-Goode hopes to raise
$300,000 from the sales of Homefront Red.
MWW is honored to launch Homefront Red on a
national scale to key media, including food, wine,
philanthropy and military verticals. The wine launched
in September 2013, and pre-coverage included The
Daily Buzz, and secured media desksides with Wine 
Spirits Daily, Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis Star-Tribune
and Reverse Wine Snob.
Sonoma County’s Murphy-Goode winery was thrilled to partner with MWW to help launch our biggest CSR
partnership to date – working with Operation Homefront. The national non-profit provides emergency
financial and other assistance to veterans and military families in need, and Murphy-Goode this year
elevated its support to more than $300,000 with the launch of its new Homefront Red wine. MWW helped

coverage of the wine, and bring more attention to this great wine and important cause.

In 2012, in addition to our annual offsetting, MWW planted

celebrate seven years of partnership with Carbonfund.org.
With support from Carbonfund.org, MWW has reduced the
carbon impact from our business operations, totaling more
than 8,625 metric tons of CO2 mitigation which is equivalent
to the electricity usage of 1,291 homes for one year. That’s
also equivalent to the emissions from more than 20,058
barrels of oil consumed or to taking 1,797 cars off the road
for one year.
CARBON OFFSETS
Starting in 2013, MWW now supports three types of carbon
offset projects – renewable energy, energy efficiency, and
forest – as each play an important role in the fight against
climate change. MWW continues to stay at the forefront
of research and practice in the sector, and will continue to
support innovative ways to protect our planet in the years

create innovative approaches for both MWW and its clients. There are many reasons we chose to be
a green company, but it boils down to one simple fact – we want to give back to the planet by doing
our part. Here’s how:

We recognize that our individual actions have a great impact on the environment in 2012 our offices

approval process that defaults to contracted environmentally-
friendly products
• Consider only LEEDS certified buildings when renewing
office leases
• Continue to donate to Carbonfund.org to offset MWW
carbon footprint

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 32
My nephew, Charlie, was born with a congenital disorder
affecting both kidneys called bilateral hydronephrosis. He
was diagnosed with the condition pre-birth. My sister, Linda,
did everything she could to learn about his condition and how
we could best deal with the challenges that he might face
because of it. Through her research, she learned of the National
Kidney Foundation (NKF), which was a fantastic resource for
information – and has been ever since.
Charlie underwent surgery to help repair his issues and bears two
scars on his sides as battle wounds – which he playfully refers to
now as his “shark bites.” He is now six years old and, thankfully,
in very good health.
Since Charlie’s birth, together with our family, we have made it our
mission to educate others about the importance of kidney health
and the work that the NKF is doing. My sister is heavily involved with
the organization and has been asked to speak at several of NKF’s
Galas to tell Charlie’s story. She and my niece, Loren Kate, were even
featured on all of the NKF’s marketing materials this year.
Annually, we walk the NKF’s Northern New Jersey 5k and
support the event with fundraising efforts on behalf of Team
Charlie. Funds raised from the Walk support the NKFs programs,
including public and professional education, free kidney health
screenings and patient advocacy. Northern New Jersey walkers
raise over $100,000 annually – and counting.
The effect this little boy has had on all of us is truly amazing.
Charlie has taught us all that when you support a cause close to
your heart, you can make an impact on the
lives of those who need it most.
Loren Waldron, VP, East Rutherford – National Kidney Association
Since Charlie’s birth, together with our family, we have made it our mission to educate others about the
importance of kidney health and the work that is being done by the National Kidney Foundation.

MWW’s public relations services matter more to not just for-profit businesses, but also the non-
profits that change lives in their communities. We share their passion for mission-driven work,
and are committed to helping them drive much-needed impact.
From feeding our communities to taking care of children
on a global scale, giving back is a core value at MWW.
Through Good Matters, a company-wide volunteer and
CSR program, we are public servants who walk the talk.
This year, through our leadership of A Billion +
Change – the national campaign to mobilize billions of
dollars of pro bono and skills-based service – we have
recommitted to the goal of empowering employees to
use their talent to make a difference. MWW is creating
a culture of citizenship that addresses our nation’s
greatest needs, all through the individual contributions
of our talented staff.

MWW continues to have an impressive track record of bringing NFTE’s message to the masses
through a strategic media relations campaign resulting in influential coverage. Additionally,
MWW’s ability to support and understand the importance of offering entrepreneurship education
to our youth to help reverse the trend of crippling youth unemployment, makes them a trusted
partner and one of our strongest NFTE allies.
AMY ROSEN / PRESIDENT AND CEO / NETWORK FOR TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
GOOD MATTERS: PRO BONO06
NETWORK FOR TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE),
an organization long supported by MWW, inspires
at-risk youth to turn educational experiences into
starting their own businesses and succeeding in life.
NFTE programs for low-income students in 19 states
and 13 countries reinforce students’ critical thinking
skills and help them develop an entrepreneurial
mindset. As the only global non-profit organization
solely focused on bringing entrepreneurship
education to low-income youth, their work impacts
the lives of nearly 50,000 young people annually.
MWW continues to provide pro bono strategic media
relations resources for NFTE’s initiatives during a
critical time of growth for the organization – NFTE
just celebrated a milestone 25 years of operation,
and seeks to grow worldwide in coming years!
MWW has secured interviews and bylines for NFTE
leadership with CNBC, The New York Times, The
Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post, CBS
Evening News, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, and
more. Additionally, MWW supports initiatives for
NFTE, including classroom programs, the annual
Dare to Dream awards dinner, annual National
Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge Competition and
the World Series of Innovation, NFTE’s experiential
classroom activity at Global Entrepreneurship Week.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 36
As trailblazers in social impact and social innovation, we couldn’t be happier to have MWW join the
leadership team of A Billion + Change. Their support of our public relations and strategic planning
has helped us grow our audience and celebrate our success like we were one of their Fortune 100
clients. We look forward to working together in the year ahead as we inspire and engage more
companies to make pro bono service a part of their business culture.
JENNIFER LAWSON / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / A BILLION + CHANGE
GOOD MATTERS: PRO BONO06
A BILLION + CHANGE
A Billion + Change is a national campaign to mobilize
billions of dollars of pro bono and skills-based
service by 2013 to address core capacity issues our
communities face across the country and around the
world. Managed by an all-star roster of businesses
and non-profits working together – Deloitte, HP,
IBM, the Case Foundation, Points of Light Institute,
Corporation for National and Community Service, and
under the chairmanship of Senator Mark Warner –
the initiative transforms how businesses leverage
their employees to make a lasting impact on society.
MWW is honored to serve A Billion + Change as a
leadership partner by offering visibility, expertise,
infrastructure and financial resources. And in the
spirit of the campaign, MWW also provides pro bono
public relations services to promote the initiative’s
mission and goals. With support from MWW,
A Billion + Change announced the major milestone of
receiving over $2 billion in commitments to pro bono
service from more than 500 companies.

As an organization that is just three years old, the It Gets Better Project faces unique challenges
when it comes to finding the right way to talk about our evolution, growth and impact. We know
that without proper messaging, we cannot achieve our mission to inspire LGBT youth in need
worldwide. MWW has been a thoughtful and dedicated partner in helping us to find our voice, and,
as a result, the It Gets Better message continues to change lives throughout the world every day.
TED FARLEY / EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, IT GETS BETTER PROJECT
GOOD MATTERS: PRO BONO06
IT GETS BETTER PROJECT
Beginning as a video movement, the It Gets Better
Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to
creating and inspiring positive change that affects
LGBT youth, showcasing and proving that it does get
better. And through fundraising, the project helps
celebrate momentous milestones for youth and
their allies. With chapters in more than 15 countries
worldwide, the project is a global resource for the
LGBT community, providing expertise in legal issues,
mainstream media, international resources and
community engagement.
MWW worked to help the organization re-focus its
efforts and refresh its messaging, with the goal of
establishing it as a national non-profit focused upon
a cause rather than a grassroots video movement.
As the project approaches its three-year anniversary
(9/21), MWW will lead a robust media campaign to
reintroduce the organization.

Our friends at MWW were very generous with their time, talent, and expertise as we launched our
‘New F Word’ campaign to prevent bullying. We didn’t feel like just another client. They really took
a vested interest in who we were and shared in our vision of making a difference in the community.
RONNIE KROELL / CO-FOUNDER / FRIEND MOVEMENT
GOOD MATTERS: PRO BONO06
FRIEND MOVEMENT
The Friend Movement is an edgy, national, anti-
bullying campaign that brings celebrity star power
like Leann Rimes, Adam Lambert, Darren Criss, Tim
Gunn, Rachel Dratch, Carmen Electra, and many
others to take an assertive stance against all forms
of social bullying. MWW conceived a plan to launch
The Friend Movement in 40 cities across the country
through individual, public photo shoots in each place.
The debut event was a tri-fold announcement of the
campaign, the photo shoots to the public, and the
high-profile charity concerts that would fund the
campaign. MWW crafted all messaging, all event-
related social media, and seeded individual celebrity
images from both the concert and the campaign’s
editorial to the media. MWW celebrated success
when the first campaign, The New F-Word, was
placed in top lifestyle and celebrity media targets
like MTV.com, KTLA TB, Just Jared, D-Listed, OK!,
US Weekly, Huffington Post, Extra TV, LA Times, OUT,
The Advocate, Guest of a Guest, and Perez Hilton.

The Center for Food Action has worked with individuals and families in crisis for nearly three
decades, and MWW has been a partner for more than a third of that time, helping the organization
prevent hunger and homelessness. Since 1998, MWW has donated $53,200, which has provided
about 3,600 people with seven-day food packages. In addition, a number of MWW employees have
volunteered, especially around Thanksgiving.
GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06
ANTI-POVERTY
Each Thanksgiving, MWW employees come together
to help ensure that the holidays are memorable for
families by donating items and helping to bag food
at the Center for Food Action (CFA). Working to
prevent hunger and homelessness and improve the
lives of individuals and families living in poverty,
MWW employees have donated the equivalent of
feeding 3,600 people with seven-day food packages
since 1998.
This year, MWW volunteers in New Jersey helped
the CFA facilitate massive food drives prior to
Thanksgiving, providing food for more than 13,000
people. Colleagues unloaded, sorted, and bagged
donated food for families all over New Jersey.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 40
MWW has a lot to be thankful for during the holiday season. That’s why every year, employees are
eager to donate hundreds of hours, just in time for the Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations,
to help ensure that the holidays are memorable for local families.
GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06
LETTERS TO SANTA
And perhaps Superstorm Sandy motivated MWW
employees to dedicate themselves to another long-
running program in MWW’s history, “Secret Santa,” an
initiative that brings cheer to hundreds of children in
need during the holiday season. MWW teams up with
Youth Consultation Services (YCS). Last year, MWW
sponsored over 50 children, personally selected and
delivered gifts, surprising children with their favorite
presents that, due to unfortunate circumstances,
their parents could not afford. In Sandy’s aftermath,
this program is more important than ever before.
The intermediary organization, YCS, cares for
approximately 1,500 at-risk and special needs
children by building happier, healthier, and more
hopeful lives within families and communities.
Whatever the child’s special education, mental health
or behavioral health needs, the caring YCS staff
offers individualized services to both the child and
family. With MWW’s support, YCS helps our children
find hope, and cultivate strength and resilience for a
brighter future.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 41
MWW joined the GI Go Fund and the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) for the 3rd Annual
“Jeans for Troops” Fundraising Drive in honor of Memorial Day Veterans. MWW employees had the
opportunity to donate $5 to the GI Go Fund and wear jeans to work to support veterans returning
home from Iraq and Afghanistan.
GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06
JEANS FOR TROOPS
The GI Go Fund is a non-profit organization that
provides transition assistance to all military
veterans, with a focus on veterans from the Iraq and
Afghanistan conflicts, by preparing them for the 21st
century economy, securing educational and health
benefits, and providing aid and assistance to low-
income and homeless veterans.
To further support this effort, MWW also works
with the Department of Labor to advertise all job
opportunities to veterans and their spouses. We
strongly encourage veterans to apply to our job
opportunities for consideration. We will continue to
look for additional avenues to support our veterans
and their families in their transition.
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 42
MWW’s employees pride themselves on tackling some of the toughest issues for clients – even
sometimes out of the public eye. Whether it’s rehabilitating an abandoned hospital, fighting for
reform, or protecting reputations, our teams work countless hours to ensure their clients are heard
by key influencers and decision-makers. So it should come as no surprise that when superstorm
Sandy ravaged New York and New Jersey, these professional men and women worked quietly, yet
diligently, behind the scenes to quickly assist those most in need.
GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06
SUPERSTORM SANDY RECOVERY
Employees called in favors from gasoline trucks
to hospital operations, offered counsel to state
leadership all the way down to local emergency
management, and sourced grant information and
funding partners for recovery organizations across
the region.
MWW New York and New Jersey team members
immediately mobilized to help on the ground.
Employees donated blankets, clothing, sheets,
toiletries, and bottled water, along with their time.
Several teams traveled to the hardest-hit areas of the
Jersey Shore to deliver these items to families .
CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 43
Also during the holiday season, MWW employees came together
to give the gift that keeps on giving – gift wrapping for charity!
In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County,
MWW gift wrapping enthusiasts covered 4-5 hour shifts to wrap
gifts, collect donations, and publicize Habitat’s other events and
volunteer opportunities.
Just before the start of the school year, MWW offices collect
supplies for distribution to low-income and foster children. Last
year, the Tools 4 Schools program served over 170 schools and
educational programs.

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 44
As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I have always been
involved with organizations focused on building awareness and
finding a cure. It was only after becoming a breast cancer patient
myself that I realized the importance of advocating for families of
patients – especially children – to actively support organizations
that provide critical resources focused on helping loved ones
navigate the difficult journey of treatment and recovery.
I was always very familiar with the realities of breast cancer
and knew that despite the charity glamour status this disease
had reached, it was a very real and life-changing experience
for everyone it touched. When my own diagnosis came, as the
mother of two young children, I was astonished to learn about
the lack of resources for women who worked during treatment,
as well as a lack of programs to help families get the support
they need to overcome the crippling powerlessness of seeing
your loved ones suffer.
As part of my own recovery, I became a runner – and in the past
four years have led various race teams to fundraise for local and
national breast cancer charities. But more importantly, I’ve been
honored to be a volunteer and organizer for the American Cancer
Society’s Look Good…Feel Better® program. It is a free, national
service that helps women restore their appearance and self-image
during chemotherapy and radiation treatments; and I’m an avid
supporter of the ACS’s Hope Lodge®, facilities that provide free,
comfortable lodging for patients and their caregivers nearby to
treatment centers.
In addition to these ongoing activities, I serve in various roles as
a board member, advisor and organizer to other organizations,
including Susan G. Komen for the Cure, DonorsChoose.org and
Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces
to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term
medical hair loss from any diagnosis.
While this important work continues to
build awareness and design research
that strives for a cure, I know that
my path is working alongside my own
family to provide the same hope and
healing that others gave us.

I decided to join the Young Professionals Committee for the NJ
Chapter of the Leukemia  Lymphoma Society (LLS) after my mother
was diagnosed in May 2010 with a type of cancer called Multiple
Myeloma. The LLS reached out to my mother and my family during
this time of need and helped in ways we would have never thought;
whether it was by offering to pay for carpooling services to and from
the hospital, or through simply sending a positive postcard to our
home, the LLS efforts provided much comfort.
When I heard about the opportunity to join the committee
through a friend, I didn’t think twice. The committee is
responsible for the planning and execution of a major, annual
fundraising event called Betting on a Cure that takes place
between May and June of each year. The committee has raised
close to $200,000 towards the LLS mission.
The LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health organization
dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient
services. The LLS relies entirely on the generosity of individuals,
corporations and foundations to fund its lifesaving research,
patient education and support programs. This year was my third
year with the committee putting on this great event; ironically,
it was also during the timeframe where my mother’s cancer
relapsed. We remain very positive and we appreciate the support
that committee members and friends we have made through
the LLS have provided us. I have no doubt that this treatable
disease will eventually be curable, but it very much depends on
individuals who show the LLS their generosity.
I have made a commitment to help raise
funds for this great organization,
which holds a very near and dear
place in my heart.

CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 50
I have always been an avid reader, so when I became a mom,
books and reading were a natural part of life with my son.
As my son started outgrowing his books, I wanted to find a place
to donate the books so other children could enjoy them.
While researching options, I found the statistics saddening –
children in economically depressed communities have 0-2 age-
appropriate books, with 60% having no books at home; without
books and basic language, children entering kindergarten start
school at a disadvantage.
My mission became to “pay it forward” with books to help
children in North Texas and to show my son the importance of
giving back to others. I set up shelves in my garage to collect the
books my son had outgrown and to gather books from family and
friends. I rallied two close friends (a fellow PR pro and a teacher)
to help get the project off the ground, and Little Hands Book Bank
was established to collect, prep and package books so a starter
library of books can be given to low-income children.
Little Hands Book Bank became a 501(c)3 non-profit charity in
2012, and we’ve collected more than 1,200 books in the last
year through book drives by moms groups, churches and other
organizations. I am proud of establishing Little Hands Book
Bank to share books with kids who need them and to encourage
families to give back to the community through book donations.

  • 4. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 4 DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES Over the past few years, much discussion has taken place about what is the next evolution of corporate citizenship. And yet, a real look reveals no “right” balance between philanthropic donations, environmental initiatives, community programs or skills-based pro bono work. The truth is, there is no easy answer or one-size-fits-all solution. Thank you for being part of this journey. MICHAEL KEMPNER / President and CEO Here’s what we do know: true corporate citizenship starts by looking inside, and seeing what your business and your employees can do to make a positive impact. At MWW, we call this Mattering More. It is the mantra that runs through everything we do – be it serving our clients on a day-to-day basis, making decisions that affect our business and employees, or serving our communities. We always ask ourselves, How can we Matter More? For more than 25 years, MWW has worked tirelessly to be a trusted and valued corporate citizen. As a result, we have spent a lot of time thinking about how to make a difference, both internally and externally, through charitable works, philanthropic efforts and the work we do for our clients. This has made our programs – and most of all, our clients – more sophisticated, but we know we are just beginning. At MWW, each person offers a unique contribution, passion, idea, and motivation that betters our business – and we use those attributes to matter more to our communities. In 2013, MWW transitioned from just being a responsible, sustainable corporation to creating a culture of citizenship that trickles down to every employee and client – a culture in which the corporation shares the core values of its citizens and utilizes service as a solution to address societal needs. MWW has invested in supporting some of the most pressing priorities shared by our employees, clients, and neighborhoods. The following report gives a glimpse into our commitment from promoting youth employment opportunities with NFTE and Homeboy Industries to our volunteer efforts and work in New Jersey to help recover from Superstorm Sandy. In 2013, we were honored to have been a part of the national A Billion + Change campaign where we have joined forces with industry-leading companies to increase awareness of the real impact that corporate citizens can have through skills-based volunteering. This report is more than a rundown of feel-good activities – it’s the MWW blueprint for our ongoing effort to sharpen and share employee talents through pro bono and skills-based work, and to support the responsible practices that we believe matter most. You can learn more about our commitment to corporate social responsibility in the pages that follow, including real-life, people-powered accounts of how our staff reaffirms this commitment.
  • 5. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 5 After moving to New York City from Dallas in 2011, I was eager to get involved in my new community. New York City has no shortage of non-profits, so I wasn’t sure where to begin. All I knew is that I wanted to make a real difference in someone’s life. After speaking to my network about what they were involved in, New York Needs You (NYNY) quickly stood out in the crowd. Founded in 2010 by a network of Wall Street young professionals, NYNY is a two-year long intensive mentoring and training program for first-generation college students to help them succeed in their future careers. In addition to being the first in their families to attend college, several of the students also are first-generation Americans and crafting their very own American Dream here in New York City. The students, called Fellows, meet with professionals, called Mentor Coaches, one to two times per month for day-long Saturday workshops on various topics ranging from public speaking to resume and cover letter writing to subsidized test preparation. Fellows and Mentor Coaches also meet outside of workshops for additional relationship building. I applied and was accepted as a 2012 Mentor Coach and couldn’t be happier with my experience. My fellow is majoring in Music & Business at Lehman College. Shy and unsure when we first began working together, in one year I’ve witnessed an incredible transformation in her enthusiasm, poise and potential. She’s grateful for our work together, but I’m indebted to her and NYNY for an awe- inspiring journey, and for making my new home of NYC a better place to be. Emily Graham, VP– New York Needs You All I knew is that I wanted to make a real difference in someone’s life. After speaking to my network about what they were involved in, New York Needs You quickly stood out in the crowd. STORIES OF EMPLOYEES MATTERING MORE STORIES OF EMPOYEES MATTERING MORE: EMILY GRAHAM

  • 12. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 12 It has always been important to me to remember my Italian roots and to be of service to the community. When I was asked to join the Garfield, New Jersey chapter of UNICO National, the largest Italian-American service organization in the United States, after graduating college in 2009, I could not pass up the opportunity to not only help others, but to also learn about myself and where I came from. I have taken my media relations and communications skills to serve as the Public Relations Manager for our chapter. I coordinate all correspondence with the media, draft any written material that is needed, and counsel the chapter on communicating and marketing events and fundraisers. As an organization, we fundraise for a number of various charities and serve our local community members who are in need. Our largest service project of the year is in December, where we purchase close to $3,000 in food for 50 families in the Garfield community and deliver it to their door for the holidays. It’s projects like this that help us all appreciate what we have in our daily lives. Guiseppe Barone, AAE, Jersey – UNICO National When I was asked to join the Garfield, New Jersey chapter of UNICO National, Icould not pass up the opportunity to not only help others, but to also learn about myself and where I came from.

  • 17. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 17 Michael’s Feat is named in loving memory of baby Michael Gerard Puharic, who was born on July 29, 2000 to Adam and Dana Puharic. During the pregnancy, Dana and Adam were informed that Michael would face grave health problems resulting from a chromosome disorder known as Trisomy 13. Sadly, his life lasted only 83 hours. His brave struggle and the love and caring he brought out in people remains an amazing accomplishment. This is Michael’s “feat.” As a close friend of the Puharics, I became involved with Michael’s Feat from its inception. The Puharics were grateful for all of the care they received from the staff at Monmouth Medical Center where Michael was born. The Michael Gerard Puharic Memorial Fund, Inc., a local 501c3 non-profit organization, was dedicated to giving comfort and easing the burden for parents carrying and caring for seriously ill newborns. Michael’s Feat offers families in need direct financial support, overnight bags filled with supplies for hospital stays, furniture and medical equipment, meals, gas cards and, if necessary, respite care. Beginning as a volunteer and fundraiser, I became a board member of Michael’s Feat in 2002 and served in that capacity through the end of 2012. Over that time period, I coordinated all of the public relations outreach for the organization in addition to serving as a fundraiser. Today, I continue to provide public relations support. In a dozen years, Michael’s Feat has assisted hundreds of families in the Monmouth and Ocean County communities and has raised over $1 million to support these families in need and to provide Monmouth Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center with state-of-the art equipment and technology for their Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). The organization has built Resource Center rooms in both Monmouth Medical Center and Centre State Hospital in Freehold so families have a place to gather during their visits to the NICU. Thirteen years later, baby Michael continues performing “feats.” All of those involved and the families that have benefited, are grateful for his inspiration. Tom Cosentino, AD, Trenton – Michael’s Feat Beginning as a volunteer and fundraiser, I became a board member of Michael’s Feat in 2002 and served in that capacity through the end of 2012.

  • 21. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 21 The New Jersey Economic Development Authority selected MWW to manage a public relations and advertising initiative to raise national and local awareness that the Jersey Shore is open for business and ready for the summer following Superstorm Sandy. Dubbed “Stronger than the Storm,” the campaign highlighted the region’s ongoing recovery and preparedness for the summer of 2013 tourist season. MWW’s consumer campaign enlisted locals and tourists alike to have fun in the sun at events ranging from sandcastle building to free boating to celebrity concerts, all to bolster the state’s economy. After all, the shore composes the largest portion of New Jersey’s $38 billion tourism industry and is a major source of jobs and economic activity. In addition to being a central component of the state’s economy and workforce, the Jersey Shore is one of our nation’s great environmental and recreational treasures. Starting on Memorial Day, MWW worked tirelessly to promote the campaign through events, social media, and traditional media. By Labor Day, results were tremendous – MWW garnered over 319,000 supporters to attend 43 events; placed 1,740 articles seen by over 1.25B readers; and kept over 103,000 online fans and 202 million Twitter users up-to-date throughout the summer.

  • 24. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 24 As a business with a strong commitment to its community and experience in environmental policy, MWW was uniquely poised to guide Verizon through hosting its annual sustainability forum. MWW recommended a program that wasn’t just strategy – it was tried-and-true success, refined as a result of their best practices and previous programs for Verizon. We appreciated their counsel – and so did the attendees! ALBERTO CANAL / VP OF CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS / VERIZON MATTER MORE: CLIENTS AND CASE STUDIES04 VERIZON In December 2012, Verizon hosted a forum to help small businesses in California access information and gain support for investing in sustainability. While large companies have recognized the benefits of embracing environmental sustainability policies, small businesses are often unaware of the economic benefits of going green and may be tentative in seeking out more information. Verizon’s forum let small business know that they can reduce their impact on the environment and save money at the same time. MWW acted in close partnership with Verizon to develop objectives for the forum, select the best speakers and presenters, and spread the word to small businesses. MWW was also a key participant in the forum itself, with MWW leadership both presenting and moderating discussions on improving sustainability and access to information.

  • 27. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 27 Known for their “goode” take on food, wine and life, Murphy-Goode has launched a new red, blended varietal - Homefront Red. Incorporating Syrah, Merlot, Petite Sirah and Zinfandel grapes, Homefront Red is a great sipping wine and the perfect companion to tailgate season, pairing well with grilled dishes and marinades. Beyond its food-friendly qualities, Homefront Red offers much more – relief for veterans and military families in need. For every bottle sold, a portion of the proceeds from Homefront Red will go to Operation Homefront, the non-profit organization that provides emergency financial assistance to veterans and their families. Murphy-Goode hopes to raise $300,000 from the sales of Homefront Red. MWW is honored to launch Homefront Red on a national scale to key media, including food, wine, philanthropy and military verticals. The wine launched in September 2013, and pre-coverage included The Daily Buzz, and secured media desksides with Wine Spirits Daily, Chicago Tribune, Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Reverse Wine Snob. Sonoma County’s Murphy-Goode winery was thrilled to partner with MWW to help launch our biggest CSR partnership to date – working with Operation Homefront. The national non-profit provides emergency financial and other assistance to veterans and military families in need, and Murphy-Goode this year elevated its support to more than $300,000 with the launch of its new Homefront Red wine.

  • 32. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 32 My nephew, Charlie, was born with a congenital disorder affecting both kidneys called bilateral hydronephrosis. He was diagnosed with the condition pre-birth. My sister, Linda, did everything she could to learn about his condition and how we could best deal with the challenges that he might face because of it. Through her research, she learned of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), which was a fantastic resource for information – and has been ever since. Charlie underwent surgery to help repair his issues and bears two scars on his sides as battle wounds – which he playfully refers to now as his “shark bites.” He is now six years old and, thankfully, in very good health. Since Charlie’s birth, together with our family, we have made it our mission to educate others about the importance of kidney health and the work that the NKF is doing. My sister is heavily involved with the organization and has been asked to speak at several of NKF’s Galas to tell Charlie’s story. She and my niece, Loren Kate, were even featured on all of the NKF’s marketing materials this year. Annually, we walk the NKF’s Northern New Jersey 5k and support the event with fundraising efforts on behalf of Team Charlie. Funds raised from the Walk support the NKFs programs, including public and professional education, free kidney health screenings and patient advocacy. Northern New Jersey walkers raise over $100,000 annually – and counting. The effect this little boy has had on all of us is truly amazing. Charlie has taught us all that when you support a cause close to your heart, you can make an impact on the lives of those who need it most.

MWW conceived a plan to launch The Friend Movement in 40 cities across the country through individual, public photo shoots in each place. The debut event was a tri-fold announcement of the campaign, the photo shoots to the public, and the high-profile charity concerts that would fund the campaign. MWW crafted all messaging, all event- related social media, and seeded individual celebrity images from both the concert and the campaign’s editorial to the media. MWW celebrated success when the first campaign, The New F-Word, was placed in top lifestyle and celebrity media targets like MTV.com, KTLA TB, Just Jared, D-Listed, OK!, US Weekly, Huffington Post, Extra TV, LA Times, OUT, The Advocate, Guest of a Guest, and Perez Hilton.

GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06 LETTERS TO SANTA And perhaps Superstorm Sandy motivated MWW employees to dedicate themselves to another long- running program in MWW’s history, “Secret Santa,” an initiative that brings cheer to hundreds of children in need during the holiday season. MWW teams up with Youth Consultation Services (YCS). Last year, MWW sponsored over 50 children, personally selected and delivered gifts, surprising children with their favorite presents that, due to unfortunate circumstances, their parents could not afford. In Sandy’s aftermath, this program is more important than ever before. The intermediary organization, YCS, cares for approximately 1,500 at-risk and special needs children by building happier, healthier, and more hopeful lives within families and communities.

MWW New York and New Jersey team members immediately mobilized to help on the ground. Employees donated blankets, clothing, sheets, toiletries, and bottled water, along with their time. Several teams traveled to the hardest-hit areas of the Jersey Shore to deliver these items to families .

In collaboration with Habitat for Humanity of Bergen County, MWW gift wrapping enthusiasts covered 4-5 hour shifts to wrap gifts, collect donations, and publicize Habitat’s other events and volunteer opportunities. Just before the start of the school year, MWW offices collect supplies for distribution to low-income and foster children. Last year, the Tools 4 Schools program served over 170 schools and educational programs. GOOD MATTERS: EMPLOYEE ACTIVITIES06 BERGEN COUNTY HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TOOLS 4 SCHOOL
  • 44. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 44 As the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, I have always been involved with organizations focused on building awareness and finding a cure. It was only after becoming a breast cancer patient myself that I realized the importance of advocating for families of patients – especially children – to actively support organizations that provide critical resources focused on helping loved ones navigate the difficult journey of treatment and recovery. I was always very familiar with the realities of breast cancer and knew that despite the charity glamour status this disease had reached, it was a very real and life-changing experience for everyone it touched. When my own diagnosis came, as the mother of two young children, I was astonished to learn about the lack of resources for women who worked during treatment, as well as a lack of programs to help families get the support they need to overcome the crippling powerlessness of seeing your loved ones suffer. As part of my own recovery, I became a runner – and in the past four years have led various race teams to fundraise for local and national breast cancer charities. But more importantly, I’ve been honored to be a volunteer and organizer for the American Cancer Society’s Look Good…Feel Better® program. It is a free, national service that helps women restore their appearance and self-image during chemotherapy and radiation treatments; and I’m an avid supporter of the ACS’s Hope Lodge®, facilities that provide free, comfortable lodging for patients and their caregivers nearby to treatment centers. In addition to these ongoing activities, I serve in various roles as a board member, advisor and organizer to other organizations, including Susan G. Komen for the Cure, DonorsChoose.org and Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. While this important work continues to build awareness and design research that strives for a cure, I know that my path is working alongside my own family to provide the same hope and healing that others gave us.

  • 45. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 45 I decided to join the Young Professionals Committee for the NJ Chapter of the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS) after my mother was diagnosed in May 2010 with a type of cancer called Multiple Myeloma. The LLS reached out to my mother and my family during this time of need and helped in ways we would have never thought; whether it was by offering to pay for carpooling services to and from the hospital, or through simply sending a positive postcard to our home, the LLS efforts provided much comfort. When I heard about the opportunity to join the committee through a friend, I didn’t think twice. The committee is responsible for the planning and execution of a major, annual fundraising event called Betting on a Cure that takes place between May and June of each year. The committee has raised close to $200,000 towards the LLS mission. The LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The LLS relies entirely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to fund its lifesaving research, patient education and support programs. This year was my third year with the committee putting on this great event; ironically, it was also during the timeframe where my mother’s cancer relapsed. We remain very positive and we appreciate the support that committee members and friends we have made through the LLS have provided us. I have no doubt that this treatable disease will eventually be curable, but it very much depends on individuals who show the LLS their generosity. I have made a commitment to help raise funds for this great organization, which holds a very near and dear place in my heart.

  • 50. CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP REPORT | 2012-13 50 I have always been an avid reader, so when I became a mom, books and reading were a natural part of life with my son. As my son started outgrowing his books, I wanted to find a place to donate the books so other children could enjoy them. While researching options, I found the statistics saddening – children in economically depressed communities have 0-2 age- appropriate books, with 60% having no books at home; without books and basic language, children entering kindergarten start school at a disadvantage. My mission became to “pay it forward” with books to help children in North Texas and to show my son the importance of giving back to others. I set up shelves in my garage to collect the books my son had outgrown and to gather books from family and friends. I rallied two close friends (a fellow PR pro and a teacher) to help get the project off the ground, and Little Hands Book Bank was established to collect, prep and package books so a starter library of books can be given to low-income children. Little Hands Book Bank became a 501(c)3 non-profit charity in 2012, and we’ve collected more than 1,200 books in the last year through book drives by moms groups, churches and other organizations. I am proud of establishing Little Hands Book Bank to share books with kids who need them and to encourage families to give back to the community through book donations.
