"Our mission of protecting some of the most iconic species on the planet, the big cats of the world, is an urgent issue, and now is the time to bring renewed focus and awareness to this mission. Frequency540 is a rare mix of marketing talent and social impact strategy that is hard to find in the advertising world. We are genuinely excited to partner with them."

"Amplifying the remarkable work that Panthera is doing to save wild cats as leaders in their field is our primary focus at FQ540 and Cardinal Path," said Andrew Swinand, Co-founder, Frequency540/CEO Cardinal Path, who, along with Charlie Stone, David Friedman, Kelly Twohig and Dominic Lee, are leading the agency relationships.
