Fight For a Cause

© 2013 All rights reserved to Mindscapes

What is a cause?

A cause can be any idea or goal with a common objective which leads

people for action in order to change or to obtain it

© 2013 All rights reserved to Mindscapes

The Logic

Create a cause and launch a campaign in which the brand is

presenting the cause and supplying the initial platforms for

people to engage with the cause and take action in it.
