One of the best parts of business school has been doing informational interviews with a variety of leaders in CSR, social innovation, cause marketing, and sustainability. Just a sample:

• I learned about the awesome ECOBrew program at Long Trail Brewery and their efforts to communicate their sustainability philosophy to their consumers.
• I spoke with the folks at 10% Solution to hear more about their work consulting with companies and certifying their CSR programs.
• I even got to chat with Cone, a leading cause branding firm, to find out how they connect brand strategies with consumer trust and loyalty. And these are just a few!

The best news is that because I’ve had the chance to learn from these interesting and dynamic leaders, I want to share what I’ve learned with you (that’s where the “Promoting” part comes in). Check back often to see what people, organizations, companies and products I’m currently promoting. In the meantime, here’s a few to get you started:

• Carrotmob and Virgance
• Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE)

Anyone in particular you’d like to hear from? Contact me and I’ll see what I can do.
