Selection Process
In 2006, AD 2 hosted a Cause Marketing night at Qualcomm headquarters. It was a remarkable event where three non profit organizations presented their case to win a full marketing campaign from AD 2. The Home of Guiding hands won the panel over. The event was preceeded by a seminar by the University of San Diego's Liz Shear in regards to best practices in cause marketing.
