Examples of Philanthropic-Minded Brands
Over the course of Q3, CPXampleTM will begin a new series called ‘Spotlight on Brand Philanthropy,’ which will feature companies who are leveraging their success and brand recognition to do good. We have discovered that many well known brands are giving back to the community in unique and meaningful ways. Some work through their own foundations, while others partner with non-profits. Causes run the gamut from education, to the environment, to cancer care. A number of companies not only do their own work in the community, but also help others give back. We will be featuring a number of different brands, outlining their philanthropic efforts and the causes they support.
This series is part of a larger CPX Interactive initiative to leverage our vast reach to help these brands promote global responsibility. CPX will design and execute an online campaign of interactive survey-style ads that ask users whether a high profile brand’s commitment to specific philanthropic initiatives affects their own impression of the brand, and to what extent these efforts make them more likely to engage such a brand. CPX will then make the results of the survey available to brands and their agencies. CPXampleTM was developed under the belief that with power, comes responsibility, and we applaud these brands for using their power to help others.
