School is out, and summer vacation is officially here. For many large brands and agencies, the cause marketing campaign season is starting to heat up as well. For cause-marketing geeks like me, summertime and back-to-school campaigns couldn’t come soon enough. It’s a time where brands try (and many fail) to show the world that they are not greedy corporations, but companies that value the quality of life of employees, customers, community stakeholders and the environment.
