Transforming A Brand Into A Socially Responsible

The Launch Of Google+ Apps Sends A Powerful Signal - The Personalized Web Has Begun.

Corporations Often Partner With Government After Natural Disasters, As Many Companies Did In The Aftermath Of Hurricane Katrina In 2005. As A Rule, However, Long-term Civic/corporate Partnerships Are Still Rare .but This Need Not Remain The Status Quo, As Many Opportunities Are Available For Such Partnerships.

While Brands That Refuse To Make The Effort Will Lose Stature And Customer Loyalty.

If A Brand Genuinely Wants To Make A Social Contribution, It Should Start With Who They Are, Not What They Do. For Only When A Brand Has Defined Itself And Its Core Values Can It Identify Causes Or Social Responsibility Initiatives That Are In Alignment With Its Authentic Brand Story.

Business Practices And How We Treat The Planet Are Also In Desperate Need Of Re-humanization.
