#2 โ Be Helpful
Carterโs recently welcomed expecting parents to a series of free, live, virtual events on Facebook that will help prepare them for parenthood. Oh, and there were $5,000 gift cards up for grabs!

Takeaway: Nowadays, marketers need to ask themselves, โWhat is my brand doing to make the world a better place?โ, โHow have our charitable or extracurricular initiatives helped customersโ lives?โ and โWhat changes and improvements have these efforts had?โ etc.
And then to make sure to communicate it all consistently enough to be evident even on an occasional stroll down the LinkedIn feed.
