Social Impact

Report 2020

In 2020, Rock Content continued working to scale our social impact programs and evolve our diversity & inclusion efforts.

Sharing knowledge

to accelerate social change 

In our second year, we launched a donation matching program to support local communities, continued to provide access to our products at no cost for selected impact institutions, and continued the entrepreneur mentorship program to help them through the crisis. Our employees also dedicated their time as volunteers.

How do we leverage growth for our community?

For us, social impact means creating high-value employment opportunities for young professionals all over the world. We want to be an active, positive force and ensure that we can provide high-value digital marketing education and the skills they need to succeed in this new world.

Case

Adriane da Rosa, work at Agência Monograma and is a Rock University student

“In March 2020 I was able to do some of the Rock University premium courses for free, due to the initiative you started during the pandemic. 
 
During the courses, I truly fell in love with the digital world and realized how much I could learn and develop myself.
 
I updated my curriculum and in September 2020, I received two job offerings. My LinkedIn is ranking every week and new opportunities are coming. Thanks to you I was able to specialize myself, gain confidence and be seen in the market.

Case

Stephanie Mansueto, Head of Content at Rock Content

“It was really exciting for me to be able to give back in a way that was not self-serving, in a way that was just to help another person grow in their career. And also the fact that Rock Content was willing to let me spend my time for an entire week to support charities, and not only focus on the day-to-day.”
