Winners Will Be Revealed At 2019 Engage For Good Conference
This Valentine’s Day, we celebrate companies and causes that truly ‘get it’ – companies with heart – with the announcement of this year’s Halo Award finalists.
One of the longest-running award programs celebrating companies championing good causes, the Halo Awards are North America’s highest honor for corporate social initiatives and cause marketing and showcase successful consumer engagement and employee engagement efforts.
“Corporate social impact programs are plentiful today.” said Engage for Good President David Hessekiel, “You only need to look as far as the Super Bowl for examples of companies attempting to engage consumers around social issues. However,” Hessekiel explained, “the marriage of company and cause isn’t a simple proposition and takes significant strategy and investment to execute properly. These Halo finalists have risen to the top of a very competitive field of entries by demonstrating measurable social impact while simultaneously delivering upon corporate objectives.”
Forty-nine campaigns were announced today as finalists in 12 category Halo Awards. A Gold and Silver Halo Award winner will be announced in each category at the Engage for Good Conference in Chicago on May 30. Please join us in congratulating these finalists:
