As our world grows increasingly polarized, it will be the big thinkers who bring us back together.
Small business owners, intrapreneurs and women have the potential to create substantial change, fueled by the right insights and inspiration. In its push toward this mission, TED expanded its flagship TEDWomen conference and turned to Tote + Pears to help them find diverse, innovative, action-oriented people who are ready to address today’s challenges along with what’s up next.

In 2024, we worked alongside TED to help them bring new voices into the TED community, and create a marketing framework they could use again and again.
