Cause-based marketing involves companies using sponsorships, licensing agreements, and advertisements to promote social issues in order to further their business goals while also benefiting community organizations. There are three options for branding cause marketing campaigns: companies can create their own cause program, link to an existing cause program through co-branding, or jointly brand a campaign with an existing cause program. Examples provided include American Express supporting hunger relief and restoring the Statue of Liberty, and Hindustan Unilever contributing funds from soap sales to a diarrhea project.
