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 …

As Adbongo was being formed in 2006, the world wide financial system was about to collapse.  Up until then, cause marketing and green business practices were seen as little more than a gimmick by the rest of the business world.  After the dust from the crash of 2008 had begun to clear, it soon came to light that sustainable business’, operating under the “triple bottom line (people, planet, profit),” were continuing to move along and prosper.  While many big business’ had been running on an empty tank, over the speed limit while looking at the map upside-down, sustainable business’ had been borrowing lightly, anchoring themselves solidly in their local communities, poised for the unexpected.  Apparently it pays to do right.    Read more …

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 …
