3) Effective marketing in the positive change space harnesses the power and potential of optimism. Success comes from the rigorous application of proven advertising principles, as with any other marketing effort.

Summary

We have three compelling call-to-actions to encourage brands to go beyond purpose and focus on positive change in order to harness consumer optimism to inspire real action and drive business success.

1) Embrace the Citizen-Consumer Align your brand values with societal concerns to tap into the growing market of consumers who blend their beliefs with their purchasing decisions.

Dr. Freddie Covington Corbett, Chief- Global Brand & Marketing, UNICEF / Effie Board Member: “
A new kind of consumer has emerged – The Citizen-Consumer who now melds their social and political outlooks into their behavior as buyer. Brands need to reflect on the need to drive meaningful actions in their marketing approaches.”

2) Harness Optimism for Change Craft marketing campaigns that not only acknowledge societal challenges but also provide tangible solutions, empowering consumers to feel they’re making a positive impact through your brand.

Mollie Partesotti, Chief Strategy Officer, FCB Chicago: “Positive change efforts aren’t just for the good feels—they actually move the needle on the bottom line. They draw in people who want to buy from brands that give a damn, add distinction to brands in commoditized categories, and help attract top talent.”

3) Build Credible Connections Ensure your brand has a genuine and compelling reason to be involved in social issues. Demonstrate tangible actions and results to strengthen your brand’s credibility in the positive change space.

Samuel Monnie, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Purpose Hive: “So often the missteps we see are from purpose being bolted on to the brand, instead of being built within the brand strategy.”
