Honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month in a Pandemic

We are currently halfway through Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a month that has historically dominated the cause marketing scene, but this year is a bit different.

This week, we will examine three companies that have gotten creative to ensure their Breast Cancer Awareness Month efforts shine through.
