Cause Marketing Case Study: eBay, Coco Cola, and World Wildlife Fund

To build some positive images and to show social responsibility, many companies linked themselves to these causes to increase in the growth of company. In these days, every product seems to be tied with some cause, like buy a baby dipper and help orphans. Many NGO’s are also related to these causes and giving funds to raise the cause of companies.
