Our Company is Dedicated to Social Impact
Yakkety Yak is an agency dedicated to giving back to the community. It’s something that is deeply entrenched in our culture and a part of our core values. For a boutique agency, we donate a significant amount of nonprofit services to women entrepreneurs, startup organizations and, most importantly, nonprofit organizations. Because the occasional project just wasn’t enough, we started Yakkety Yak Gives Back. Through our grant program, we offer complimentary marketing services to lift up and empower small businesses and nonprofits—from website redesign and branding to planning for engaging content that makes an impact on your audience.
