Chief marketing and digital officer Tara McRae said: “The Clarks Collective is a powerful group that brings to life our new brand mantra – For the world ahead. They all have an important identity, a story to tell, their own philanthropic endeavours, and a strong point of view on what they want for the world ahead.
“Over the coming months, Clarks is going to join and support them on their journeys, seeking to promote the welfare of others in each of their unique communities, and pay it forward. They have all opened up doors for like-minded people in their own communities, which is why we’ve chosen to work with them for this special campaign.”
