Good Marketing:  Marketing for Social Good

Time:  12p-1pm CT

Location:  AMA Webinar

Nancy Goldstein, Chief Strategist of Compass^(x) Strategy will be the featured speaker for the AMA Monthly Webinar.  Please visit the AMA Website for more information.

Consumer surveys consistently report that consumers would choose a brand that “makes the world a better place” over other brands…and will pay more for such a brand – even in a recession.  How should marketers capitalize on this?  Web 2.0 has made it possible for companies to engage with specific communities about relevant causes like never before.  However, having a clear strategy is critical to avoid missteps, which can inadvertently undo the good your company is purporting to do.  This webinar will address some of the issues that companies face when trying to position themselves as “doing good,” as well as provide some solutions and tools to improve your company’s ability to market social good successfully.
