Pimp My Cause teams with CMW to launch 'The Year of Great Marketing Karma' with app

Paul Skinner, founder at Pimp My Cause, said: "Marketing is one of the most exciting professions because it provides the tools to create meaningful change. Pimp My Cause gives marketers the chance to harness this ability to support charities and social enterprises in need of their talent. The Karma Audit is a wonderfully creative and engaging idea that we are sure will ignite the industry's imagination and act as an enabler in allowing marketers to take on really fulfilling and rewarding projects."

'The year of Great Marketing Karma' kicks off this month with the karma audit app, which scans the users' LinkedIn page and assigns them one of eight animals to symbolise their karmic well-being, from a fly (questionable karma), to an eagle (on a higher plane) with a whelk, frog, pig, rabbit, goat and a tiger in-between.

Liz Wilson, chief executive at CMW, added: "In a world where it's easy to be cynical about the work we do, everyone needs a little karmic enlightenment in their lives. Paul's enthusiasm for Pimp My Cause is infectious and the entire team here has embraced being able to apply our creativity to a scheme that promises to have a long-lasting, positive impact on the world. By lending their services to good causes, marketers can find fresh fulfilment and make a real difference - who wouldn't want to be a part of that?"

The app will go fully live on Monday.
