The document provides guidelines for effective cause marketing campaigns on social media. It outlines five principles: 1) Not all contests are equally effective, 2) "Likes" should not be the only metric and campaigns should engage people beyond just getting Likes, 3) Campaigns work best when built around community, 4) Social campaigns should also include real-world engagement, and 5) Campaigns need integration across online and offline efforts for maximum impact. The document cautions against potential pitfalls like campaigns that seem artificial, unfair, too complex, or not well-integrated across channels.

We’ll review bright and dark examples of corporate cause-related social media and share concepts – such as the ladder of engagement – to help you achieve greater success.Kami Watson Huyse, President, Zoetica

- A lot of the research in this presentation was undertaken under the auspices of our (Beth Kanter and I) fellowship with SNCRhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/geoliv/4545167448/
- We wanted to understand the best practices in doing big business while doing good - so our first step was to understand a research search. This area is awash in jargon – some of it descriptive, some of it confusing, little of it universally accepted. We started looking at concepts around “blended value” the idea that for-profit companies can have both a both a financial as well as a social change impact. They can make a profit, but do some good in the world. The terminology includes “Double Bottom Line” and more recently “Triple Bottom Line,” (People, Product, Planet) or blended value. The term “blended value” is attributed to Jed Emerson.

- Adapted from Geoff Livingston, http://geofflivingston.com/2010/02/18/authenticity-in-corporate-social-responsibilityThis is a riff off of the triple bottom line: People, Profits, EnvironmentSocial media tactics are aligned with the fundamental mission and valuesof the business, the internal interests of stakeholders or mitigate against potential negative impactsto society (theirs or others) ie= provide maximum positive impact.Source for the three parts of the def: http://geofflivingston.com/2010/02/18/authenticity-in-corporate-social-responsibility/Companies should focus on these areas when looking for places to give back.MISSION Giving aligned with the mission of the companyPROBLEM To improve by lessening their impact, carbon footprint, etcSTAKEHOLDERSResponding to the needs of corp ecosystem employees, distributers, partners, customers, etcSocial media continues to impact businesses and nonprofits in unforeseen ways. Perhaps the greatest trend of the moment is the fusion of corporate and philanthropic interests, which in turn is producing growing pains and change. It’s likely that the requirements of online transparency will demand a new era of authenticity in corporate community investment efforts.This trend results from demands for better corporate citizenship and community participation, transparency digressions, and frankly, very public cause marketing and corporate social responsibility programs that have exposed weaknesses in the social media realms. It’s a problem that keeps coming up, and won’t go away. This will force organizations and companies to become much more mindful about how they invest in their communities.

- Based on its success and impact, Pepsi will continue to fund the Pepsi Refresh Project and intends to launch the program in Europe, Latin America and Asia in 2011.Launched in the U.S. and Canada in 2010, next year, the Pepsi Refresh Project will come to life on a global scale. International market activations will be tailored to ensure relevance to local communities.US pushThe Power of the VoteTied to product purchase, codes for online entry found on marked Pepsi products now through September 30 will allow voters to apply bonus votes to one idea they like, up to ten times per day. Values are randomly assigned and can be allocated to any idea, even if users have already voted that day. Given the success of the program in 2010, Power Voting is yet another way to expand the reach and impact of the Refresh Project now in its second year, allowing voters to quench both their thirst and enthusiasm for vibrant ideas.

- Jenni Ware was stranded at the grocery checkout having lost her wallet. Carolee Hazard, a complete stranger, paid her $207 bill. When Jenni paid her back, the check included an extra $93 as thanks - she suggested getting a massage. Carolee posted on Facebook about the events and asked friend what they'd do with the extra money. "Give it to charity!" was the response. Touched by Jenni's honesty, Carolee matched the $93 and queried her Facebook friends where to donate the $186. Soon friends began donating $93 of their own and the total quickly grew! This random act of kindness and Facebook turned $93 into over $100,000 to benefit the Second Harvest Food Bank of Silicon Valley - and the amount is still growing. In the 5 months since the chance meeting, the "pay it forward" example has traveled around the world and continues to move people to start their own ripples of goodness!

Well, not so much.According to a post in Fast Company today, Groupon’s web traffic was lifted by a measly 3%, as compared with GoDaddy (41% lift) and Volkswagen and HomeAway (27% lift each). Ouch. Now that hurts.
