Not only are cause campaigns less likely to draw ire, but they're far more likely to generate positive buzz in social media. And that's something more and more brands will be considering the top reason for cause marketing.

Wrigley's shift in agencies continues to spark more debate. My takeaway being that no one agency model is likely to dominate.
