Last week, Fullmoon Digital and VETS2INDUSTRY agreed to form a corporate partnership, benefiting veterans nationwide. Partnerships between businesses and nonprofit organizations are important to the success of a nonprofit. Derek Chew, CEO of Fullmoon Digital and Brian Arrington, founder of VETS2INDUSTRY connected on LinkedIn in January.
Mr. Arrington said “ Our corporate sponsorships are the most vital part of our mission. Without having these strong corporate partners to support us with their donations and opportunities for career placement of our veterans and military spouse network, we would not be as successful as we have been. In just two weeks, we have had 5 veterans land with 3 different companies and two of those were Fortune 500 companies”.
The partnership is exciting for Fullmoon Digital too. Because they are providing the marketing, they get to help veterans and transitioning service members reach their full potential. Mr. Chew also hired two veterans shortly after first talking to Brian. He enjoys building a super team of civilians and veterans, focusing on their strengths to be as successful as possible. “As long as our clients are happy, that’s all that matters” Mr. Chew said.
Both companies are excited to continue working together long term as they’ve already been having a fruitful relationship. A successful campaign raised $2380 for VETS2INDUSTRY using social media with a donation match from FMDM. Fullmoon Digital currently employs 25% veterans, with a goal of expanding and continuing to hire veterans to meet his expansion goals.
