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.

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 …
