La obra nos presenta la consolidación y el papel decisivo de las herramientas digitales como motor de la acción social. Partiendo del panorama comunicativo, caracterizado por su complejidad y dinamismo y dominado por el protagonismo de los medios sociales digitales, uno de los grandes retos de la Comunicación Institucional, de la Publicidad Social y de la comunicación propia del Tercer Sector es cómo generar engagement o conexión emocional con los públicos para facilitar la construcción colectiva de un discurso social. Cuatro grandes líneas de contenidos aglutinan la aproximación y la comprensión del objeto de estudio de manera rigurosa y concreta:
-El papel de La universidad en la formación de comunicadores en Publicidad Social;
-Estrategias de comunicación institucional en entornos digitales;
-El papel del prescriptor en la publicidad social. Evolución y tendencias;
-La eficacia de la comunicación de las ONG en la web 2.0 y 3.0.E
