I love it when a organisation gets behind a good cause. It makes the world a slightly better place and is certainly a big incentive for many consumers to interact with the brand. Here is a great example from Durex. For every tweet using the hashtag #1share1condom (up to 2.5m condoms) Durex will don’t a condom to a charity helping to fight the spread of HIV. If you haven’t then get tweeting, World AIDS Day is December 1st…or tomorrow!

What better time to warn weekend revellers of the dangers of drink driving than right before their first drink! As part of a social experiment to see how many people would let a drunk driver take their car, party goers stepping out of their vehicles were met by a wobbly, tequila stained valet, slurring his words, stumbling all over the place, and keen to park their cat. The result, 0 people let the drunken valet drive their car and each received a receipt warning them not to let a drunk take their car, even if it was them!
