  • How Matchfire brings four different agencies together (StudioGood, Kompolt, Patron & Matchfire) that were once "Brand Soup." The commonality with all these entities was social good and technology.
  • Matchfire's work with the Muscular Dystrophy Association on #LiveUnlimited, a bold initiative to reach a new, younger audience for the charity.
  • How #LiveUnlimited focused on 150 online influencers to drive traffic, interest and donations to the campaign.
  • Trends in cause marketing: Snapchat, Pokemon Go!, Employee Engagement.
  • The critical role content marketing has and will play in cause marketing, and how people confuse it with digital marketing.
  • How the language we use to describe corporate responsibility (cause marketing, purpose, CSR etc.) can either empower or confuse our employees.
