→ Creators are the new sports media

PRWeek spotlighted a key tension identified in Golin’s CEO Impact Index H2 2025: politics has moved to the top of the CEO agenda, bringing partisan dimensions to nearly all business announcements and decisions. To maintain reputation in this newly politicized environment, CEOs must master the art of 'engagement without endorsement' — attending White House meetings, making investment announcements and achieving policy-adjacent business goals with business-first language that avoids ideological positioning.

Named Campaign of the Week by Contagious, Golin’s latest work for Specsavers is flipping the script on hearing health — turning it from a personal problem into a shared relationship fix.
By reframing hearing aids through the lens of love, connection and intimacy, the campaign cuts through stigma and sparks action where it matters most: together.
