Yes& Launches New Video Campaign for PCMA

Forrest Mars Sr. came up with the idea for M&M’s after observing soldiers eating chocolate during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. As you know, heat liquefies chocolate like butter in a frying pan, making your fingers sticky. So, the concept of wrapping chocolate in a hard candy shell was born. With it, came an immortal tagline: Melts in your mouth, not in your hands. M&M’s are practical. They’re colorful. The characters are fun. Did we need them to be anything more?

Have you ever donated or volunteered but felt awkward about telling people or maybe even hesitated to post about it on your social networks? We’ve all been there –maybe it feels…too self-promotional?

There should be a direct and overt connection between an organization’s “giving back” initiatives and its core values. If there is no such connection? Maybe the values aren’t really values—or maybe the giving back is a thinly-disguised PR play. If there is a connection? Giving back is a powerful way to build engagement with hard-to-recruit and hard-to-retain employees.
