Adbongo is going gold. That’s right, we’re ditching paper for the shiny, sparkly stuff. Why? The answer is simple: the value of gold is increasing while the purchasing value of fiat currency is decreasing. Plus, gold can’t be counterfeited, it’s not so easy to burn, and it can be molded into a sculpture of a monkey. Read more …

We at Adbongo are excited by the latest report regarding socially responsible investing (SRI), and we thought we’d spread the news.  Lately, reading the papers hasn’t exactly been a joyful experience, so we’re happy to share a study that paints an optimistic picture of the state of human consciousness.

The Social Investment Forum Foundation’s 2010 Trends Report reveals that during the most recent financial crisis, from 2007 to 2010, the overall universe of professionally managed assets has remained roughly flat while SRI assets have enjoyed healthy growth.  During this time period, social investing enjoyed a growth rate of more than 13-percent.  As we evolve from a free market economy into a more functional one, more and more people are investing in socially responsible businesses.   Read more …

Project Eden: Adbongo Talks Trash

We’re on a mission to clean out your cans. Yep, here at Adbongo, we’ve been talking a lot of trash lately.

For the past few months, we’ve been plotting away with the fellow madmen visionaries over at Green Ox Energy on a project aimed at revolutionizing the way we view trash. In fact, we’d like to scrap the word “trash” altogether. In an effort to nudge a rickety old paradigm over a cliff, we will no longer use the words “trash” or “waste”. From now on, we will refer to the leftover odds and ends as “raw materials”, “recoverable materials”, or just “materials” for short. Why are the terms important? Because they signify our attitudes towards the subject. Recently, we’ve come to understand that landfills are actually goldmines. Now, we respect them as if they’re King Midas’ courtyards.

A new study released by Cone, Inc. reveals that consumers are far from satiated with cause marketing. Even though cause marketing has become quite the popular trend, consumers are showing no signs of weariness. In fact, they want more.

The data tells us that during hard times, Americans expect companies to step up and contribute to good causes. At Adbongo, we agree.  Right now, a seemingly endless parade of problems is marching across the news and across our own front lawns. But, as Robert South said, “Problems can become opportunities when the right people come together.” The time is now to perform miracles. Cause marketing experts teamed with companies aiming to help solve economic, environmental and social problems have the power to alchemize lead into gold.   Read more …
