NEW YORK - FINN Partners today announced the launch of a new strategic offering, "Opportunity 250," to help clients authentically engage in marketing and communications initiatives surrounding the 250th Anniversary of the United States on July 4, 2026. Based on proprietary research, the firm uncovered strong positive consumer sentiment about the 250th Anniversary and wide-spread acceptance of brand participation across generations. The survey also highlights ways in which companies and brands can celebrate this milestone and suggests areas to avoid. In tandem with the agency's suite of AI-powered tools and strategic expertise in corporate communications, marketing, public affairs and crisis, FINN's "Opportunity 250" provides the framework to help clients develop forward thinking strategies to meet the moment in ways that maintain and even support favorable sentiment amongst stakeholders and consumers.

The survey also revealed that 76.9% of people agree it is appropriate for companies and brands to publicly recognize or celebrate the anniversary. Furthermore, 63% said that a brand's active participation would likely make them feel more positive toward that brand.
