This is truly a great post, though I just came across it. I think Chris hit on a key theme with this concept of empowerment. I believe this theme of empowerment is a megatrend that is going to take over corporate branding and marketing departments on a large scale over the next several years.

Since the 60s and the VIetnam war, this country has not seen the young generation so focused on living a fulfilling and satisfied life. Secondly, large companies do not know how to reach the teens and twentysomethings with the explosion of social media.

The answer is these companies wil effectively reach these young people through this idea of empowerment online. I believe so much in this concept, I started an online media company surrounded around this theme (www.uwemp.com). I would like to hear other people's thoughts. Get on the empowerment train!

The question then is assuming a company has the right attitude, how do they go about finding partners? Is there a really easy place for them to connect, or will they end up fumbling through endless phone calls, emails, and paperwork? It sounds easy to say donate, it's another thing entirely for a large company to do without complications.

Chris, this is a great post. I like your idea of empowering vs. marketing, and I hope you write more on this subject again.

I may be attending the Inbound Marketing Summit in Dallas next month. I'm very much looking forward to hearing you speak!

Tom's shoes giveaway is a wonderful example of matching corporate goals with social
responsibility. I wish they start selling India! There will be plenty of takers in this country where there is a market for second hand shoes.

in a conversation yesterday, i asked “since when has sharing become so selfish?” when businesses share something (communication, give something, etc…), they often wear their selfish motives on their sleeves. your blog hit this right on…sharing is something you do for someone else’s benefit, not for yourself. the irony is, it’s precisely when you get this right that you realize the benefits.
