Client and event overview

Free ice cream and a brand built around doing business differently? We were always going to enjoy this one. For three consecutive years, our brand ambassadors have supported Ben & Jerry's for its famous Free Cone Day, helping serve up free scoops and good vibes in Gloucester and Windsor.

More Than Free Ice Cream

Free Cone Day has been part of Ben & Jerry's story since 1979, when the founders thanked their customers with free scoops after their first year in business.

Decades later, that community spirit remains a big part of the event.

Our teams welcomed visitors, managed queues and helped keep everything moving as people arrived for their free cone.

But there's another reason this partnership means something to us.

When Brand Values Align

Ben & Jerry's has a long history of combining business with activism, campaigning across issues including climate justice and social justice.

Like Ethical Staffing, it's also part of the wider B Corp movement, which champions businesses balancing people, planet and profit.

For us, working with organisations that care about their impact makes a difference.

Our brand ambassadors aren't simply there to hand someone a product. They're representing the organisation behind it — which makes understanding its values just as important as understanding the activation.

Three years of Free Cone Days later, we're still very happy to help spread a little joy.

Particularly when ice cream is involved.
