Consumers are becoming more attuned than ever to the authenticity of the brands they prefer. Research completed since the pandemic took hold in early 2020 supports that consumers increasingly seek to align with brands that share or reflect their personal values.
Purpose Driven Marketing is one way for brands to reinforce their brand message and, in our view, is a path to creating the "emotional loyalty" that is the talk of boardrooms everywhere.
This interview with John McNeel, Co-Founder and CEO, In/PACT, Inc. and Gregg O'Neill, SVP Loyalty Solutions and Business Development, will give you what you need to know about Purpose Driven Marketing, as well as clarify the connections between "PDM" and customer loyalty.
Doing social good is not just in fashion today, it will likely become a centerpiece of brand marketing as we move forward from the pandemic and In/PACT's manifesto eloquently reinforces this notion:
"We believe that the time has come for a new pact, between companies, people and the causes they care about, that erases the boundaries between consumerism, cause advocacy and business success."
John and Gregg have lots of knowledge in this area and we hope you enjoy the discussion.
