Brewing Success: Starbucks didn't have far to turn when they sought to increase the visibility of their cause marketing campaigns. With our blend of creativity, skillful execution and far-sighted planning, we have constantly produced year-over-year results in both media penetration and goals achieved. Some of our strategies have called for arranging local personalities to participate in a back-to-school book drive, executing a guerilla marketing campaign to get their "angels" on NBC's "Today" Show and the "CBS Early Show," and reaching out to the community in times of local crisis. Our "Coffee College," "Queen of the Bean" coffee tasting events and seasonal product launches all provide "uncommon grounds" for warming up the media.
