October 29, 2007: Corporate Culture announces the launch of its groundbreaking social change network.

Corporate Culture’s brand new social change platform - the Social Marketing Network – has gone live, and it’s already attracting a growing community of senior managers and directors from private, public and not-for-profit organisations.

The network is designed to help companies and organisations push their CSR strategy to the next level, by creating an arena in which they can collaborate to become agents of responsible change – both within their own organisations and in the wider social context.

This innovative platform contains two main elements. The first is a series of monthly round-table events, where members can discuss the latest issues and strategic thinking, led by some of the UK’s most progressive thinkers in the fields of social responsibility and change management. The second core element is the unique Insight Database: a continuously updated library of invaluable strategy and communication tools and techniques to help Network members effect lasting change.
