From women-owned web design to hubs for changemakers, this SocialBusiness.org top list of digitized social enterprises shows how entrepreneurship, technology and a purpose-driven method can merge to create something at the top of all of those respective fields. And there is truly a wide range of innovations to be inspired by here. A recent one that we featured is the Promise or Pay campaign called 'May Day' campaign, which asks its users to get off of their smartphone for twenty-four hours. Other innovations, of course, are less intrusive, but just as change-focused. For instance, Imaginals offers corporate social responsibility in a transparent and honest way.
From veteran support community interest companies to beneficial brand strategy firms, these digitized social enterprises will take you far and beyond the web.
