Givsly, the responsible advertising and marketing solutions platform, today announced the return of its flagship Karaoke for Causes event for 2025. Karaoke for Causes brings together top industry leaders who trade their boardrooms for the stage, performing crowd-favorite hits all in the name of giving back. With $280k raised at last year’s U.S. tour, Givsly is setting an ambitious goal of $750k in all-time donations, further solidifying its role as a leader in values-driven initiatives across marketing, media and advertising.
This March, Givsly will host its third annual fundraising event in Los Angeles (March 5), Chicago (March 12) and New York City (March 19). After raising over $100K in a single night in 2023, the event expanded to three U.S. cities and Cannes in 2024—and this year, it’s poised for even greater impact. Industry executives from leading agencies, including Canvas Worldwide, Dentsu, Havas, Hearts & Science, Horizon Media, Initiative, IPG Mediabrands, Mediahub, Mindshare, Publicis Collective, Spark Foundry, Starcom Worldwide and UM, are already confirmed to take the stage.
The event sponsors include Acast, Big Happy, Chicory, Daily Mail, EDO, FOX, Future, GumGum, Integral Ad Science, Instacart, InMobi, LG Ad Solutions, Nativo, Nextdoor, OpenX, Outfront Media, Teads, Paramount Advertising, Sabio, Seedtag, The Trade Desk, Vevo, Yieldmo, Zeta Global, Zynga Ads and Zefr.
“Political climates evolve and business priorities shift, but one thing remains constant—the desire to lift each other up and create positive impact for communities who need it the most,” said Chad Hickey, founder and CEO of Givsly. “That’s what Karaoke for Causes is all about. With the incredible energy from agencies and partners, we’re making 2025 our biggest year yet—turning karaoke into an industry movement for positive change.”
Karaoke for Causes follows the kickoff of an action-packed 2025 for Givsly. In January, Givsly launched its Values-Based Audiences, a new way for brands to identify and reach consumers whose values match their own. It also celebrated the winners of its 2025 Impact Awards on January 22, recognizing industry changemakers who champion social good. Givsly’s Responsible Media Summit in early February brought brands, agencies and partners together for an elevated discussion about cultivating a more responsible advertising and marketing industry. Additionally, Givsly’s We ❤️ LA Campaign mobilized the industry to support communities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.
With doubled YoY revenue in 2024, 50% total client growth and growing industry engagement, Givsly continues to prove that responsibility and profitability go hand in hand.
