New IC Incubator partnership will provide $10,000 in in-kind marketing support to help expand youth impact across Arizona

PHOENIX, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideas Collide, a leading full-service marketing and communications agency headquartered in Phoenix, is proud to announce its selection of The 1% Kid Foundation as the 2026 partner for its IC Incubator program, part of the agency's philanthropic initiative, IC Gives.

Founded and led by former professional soccer player and motivational speaker Channing Chasten, The 1% Kid Foundation empowers youth through the "1% mindset" — the belief that consistent growth, focus, and goal-setting can unlock personal potential on and off the field. Through encouragement and development initiatives, the Foundation helps build confidence, resilience, and long-term success.

As the 2026 IC Incubator partner, The 1% Kid Foundation will receive $10,000 in in-kind marketing services from Ideas Collide, including strategic support to elevate awareness, strengthen storytelling, and help expand reach and engagement across Arizona.

"As we enter 2026, we wanted our IC Incubator partnership to reflect the kind of impact that starts early, builds steadily, and changes the trajectory of a young person's life," said Matthew Clyde, President of Ideas Collide. "The 1% Kid Foundation is rooted in empowerment, resilience, and consistent growth. We are honored to help amplify that mission and support their next chapter."

"We could not be more excited to partner with a top marketing and communications agency like Ideas Collide," said Channing Chasten, Executive Director of the 1% Kid Foundation. Ever since I first saw Matt speak at a State 48 event, I knew he was someone I wanted to connect with and learn from. I never would have imagined this opportunity would become a reality, and I am incredibly grateful to Matt and the entire Ideas Collide team for being so open, supportive, and aligned with our mission."
