Interesting or inspiring articles (perhaps a bit of both) …

Each week, we share links to a few interesting or inspiring articles we’ve come across during the previous week. They’re meant to stir your thinking about marketing, communication and graphic design for positive change as well as conscious capitalism and the socially conscious movement.

Social enterprise

From Organization Unbound (http://organizationunbound.org/) is a great compilation of videos which “challenges us to pay closer attention to the link between an organization’s social purpose and how that purpose is lived inside the organization on a daily basis.” We think you’ll find the video inspiring.

Brand

Here’s an article about native advertising which argues that what big brands need instead of fads like native advertising is a genuine, dedicated effort to “debrand.” It’s an interesting read.
