The New Dynamics Between Brands And Consumers,

Through Their Own Actions, Customers Can Hold Companies Responsible To Higher Standards Of Social Responsibility. Through Collective Action, They Can Leverage Their Dollars To Combat The Force Of Those Investors Who Myopically Pursue Profits At The Expense Of The Rest Of Society.

More Brands Are Waking Up To Their Social Responsibility And Doing Good Work Through Cause Marketing Campaigns. Yet Too Many Still Go About It The Wrong Way. I Mean 'wrong' In Two Senses. Firstly, They Are Marketing Ineffectively, And Secondly, As A Consequence Their Positive Social Impact Is Not Maximized.

By Linking With Friends And Ultimately Strangers And Building Those Relationships, Social Media Is Reweaving The Social Fabric That Can Then Be Used To Scale Your Non-profit Efforts.

There Is An Overwhelming Amount Of Information Available To Us All On The Web Each Day, Not To Mention What Is Shared With Us By Our Family, Friends, Fans, And Followers. This Necessitates The Need To Filter Through All That Information And To Decide For Ourselves Where To Put Our Attention.

More And More Companies Are Reaching Out To Their Suppliers And Contractors To Work Jointly On Issues Of Sustainability, Environmental Responsibility, Ethics, And Compliance.
