Doing Good Well --Keys to Online Cause Marketing Success

Online cause marketing campaigns are everywhere you look. From Target’s Bullseye Gives contest, to the Chase Community Giving program, to USA Today's #AmericaWants Twitter hashtag campaign, companies are engaging their audiences around charity in new and innovative ways online – especially on social media platforms – and boldly linking their brands to philanthropy and social responsibility.

Companies are spending more on cause marketing, but are they spending smart? And are their nonprofit partners getting the most out of it too? It’s never been more crucial to get it right. Consumers in the age of social media can sense disingenuous cause marketing efforts a mile away and now have the tools to broadcast the bad (and the good) with a potentially viral effect.

Join us to explore how to do good, well, in this challenging environment as Network for Good’s COO, Katya Andresen, shares key principles, case studies and the good, bad and ugly of purpose-driven marketing.

  • Learn the keys to online cause marketing success, including suitability, authenticity, transparency and selling point.
  • Discover the secret to sound goal-setting
  • Understand how to frame winning campaigns
  • Master how to inspire people to act
  • Receive a checklist for running an effective online campaign

As a bonus, we’ll also cover how to prepare for helping out in times of humanitarian disaster, such as the recent crisis in Japan.
