Corporate Responsibility Workshop

    Tomorrow morning I’ll host the first of six Corporate Responsibility (CR) Workshops at the Microsoft Store Costa Mesa, and it will focus on Cause Related Marketing. It’ll be from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. RSVP via Meetup.

    During the workshop CR advocates will share their insights on the benefits to both nonprofits and to corporations. Plus, we’ll explore how Cause Related Marketing is different from corporate philanthropy and we’ll share tips on how to create a successful CRM campaign.
