Leo Burnett USA has selected Washington D.C.-based GlobalGiving as the not-for-profit organization that the agency will help develop as a brand on a pro bono basis. GlobalGiving was selected from a pool of nearly 400 organizations that submitted proposals to Burnett late last year. Founded by two former World Bank executives, GlobalGiving helps individuals, corporations and others find and fund projects around the world.

About David BurnI wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.
