the power of partnership to create a global brand - world of good and ebay
DESCRIPTION
Two socially conscious visionaries have figured out a way to leverage the strengths of two very different brands to create the world’s largest online marketplace of people- and planet-positive products to engage people in compassionate commerce. Robert Chatwani and Priya Haji discuss their creative business model, how WorldofGood.com got its name, how people can connect more directly to the producers and cultures where unique products are made, and how these vastly different organizations are working so closely together to make commerce a force for good.
