Abstrakt Marketing Group held its 6th Annual Give Back Day on August 4th, 2023. This is a day when the company grants their team members paid leave from work and gives them the opportunity to volunteer at 25+ different nonprofit organizations across the St. Louis area. This year, hundreds of volunteers put in more than 3,300 hours of service to make a positive impact throughout the community alongside their family members and friends.
Abstrakt prides itself on building relationships with those positively affecting the community through their nonprofit efforts. Abstrakt’s Give Back Day is a wonderful way to introduce team members and their guests to organizations helping the St. Louis community every single day.

After the day of giving, Abstrakt hosted a reception with yard games, live music, and food trucks to celebrate a great day of giving back to the community. Abstrakt was honored to have key members of their partner organizations in attendance, some even speaking at the event, such as the Lessie Bates Davis Neighborhood House and the St. Louis VA Medical Center Fischer House.
Chief Marketing Officer, Melanie Clark says, “Giving back to the St. Louis community is a cherished value for us, and every act of service has the potential to make a meaningful impact. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer at the iconic Gateway Arch, but our team’s presence was felt far and wide, from downtown and Laclede’s Landing to the neighborhoods of Florissant and Eureka. Give Back Day is truly one of the highlights of my year. It’s a day when our entire team comes together with a common purpose, united by our shared commitment to strengthening our community. We work hand-in-hand with local nonprofits, offering support and assistance to organizations that serve a wide range of needs, from educational initiatives and healthcare to housing and food assistance. As we work alongside these organizations, we’re continually inspired by their dedication and impact, and we’re honored to be part of the collective effort to make a positive difference in the lives of those who call St. Louis home.”
Abstrakt prioritizes charitable efforts throughout the year with added charitable paid time off and a donation match for each team member. Give Back Day is a representation of the company’s culture and an integral part of its ongoing vision.
