Let’s talk about strategy, branding, media and social impact.

How can we apply the same ideas used to sell products to sell ideas? Is it possible for Hollywood to both entertain and educate the public on important social issues? What does it take for a company to be political without being partisan?

 

Join the USC Marshall Brittingham Social Enterprise Lab for lunch and a provocative conversation about strategy, branding, media and social impact with three of today’s most innovative leaders in cause-related marketing. This event is part of the Jacobson Family Sustainable Impact Lecture Series.
