Social consciousness for capital gains: how corporate campaigns have commodified social responsibility - Guest post for IPRA

Ronke Lawal wrote a thought leadership essay for the International Public Relations Association on how global corporations are using communications to relate to social consciousness.

Simply talking about making a change is no longer enough. Brands now need to show that they are socially responsible through their activities and through their governance.
