Last Friday, Fisher AMP and FBF partnered for the first Marketing For A Better World event! The event brought together non-profit and business professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, and faculty and staff of the Fisher College of Business. Check out the photos below!

This past Friday, AMP in partnership with FBF hosted the first ever Marketing for a Better World (MBW). The event brought together those who are dedicated to marketing, service, and bettering the community! It featured speakers from CleanTurn, Wendy's, and Cardinal Health who spoke about the challenges and triumphs of integrating business with corporate social responsibility. There was also an interactive workshop where diverse teams of Fisher undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, and business professionals worked to further explore these issues with representatives from local non-profits. Overall it was an awesome event and we are looking forward to seeing it grow in the coming years!
