In this mini-cast, John Gregory Olson of JGO Digital and Jayme Soulati of Soulati Media, Inc. discuss the perfect alignment of a large national brand, 1-800-FLOWERS, with a cause oriented to building of schools in under-developed countries.
Pencils of Promise was promoted via a digital marketer, and Jayme donated to its mission. (You can hear more about that in this episode.) Around Mother's Day, because Jayme was on the Pencils of Promise email list, two promotions arrived in her in box.
John and Jayme discuss the mission of each of these organizations, how they're aligned and tied in with a seasonal and popular marketing 'holiday,' and whether your organization should consider cause-related marketing.
Tune in now and get a few tips that may align with the causes you select for your business in the future.
