During the pandemic, a pivot towards repurposing her energy for good began to manifest and she helped launch charity Conservation without Borders. She then co-founded Blue Earth Summit in 2021, a B2B sustainability conference in Bristol, which doubled in size in its second year. She sees a massive opportunity, especially for challenger and maverick brands, to harness their power to proactively bring about meaningful change across social justice and the environment and appeal to their audiences in the ways they most care about. Christine says, “Entertainment and advertising shape our collective narrative and our belief systems – whether this is for positive or negative end goals is up to us. Businesses have enormous power, with huge audiences, and there’s a giant open goal for the most authentic to shine brightest for all the right reasons.”. Golden Wild channels her vision for the future, unique expertise and personal values as a force for good. Portrait by Cat Vinton.
