Acadiana is rife with non-profit organizations that are perpetually in need of sponsors and donors.

Your business--your brand--can make a mark on the community by establishing a community partnership with a local non-profit organization.

For this week's edition of Razor Branding Blog, Jaci Russo, of Russo branding and marketing firm, discusses the benefits of attaching your brand to a great local cause.

Russo said not only is aligning your business with a local non-profit a way to give back to back to the community, but it also make your business more visible.

Aligning your brand with a local cause or local company should be deliberate and thoughtful, ensuring that your mission and philosophies are always in line.
