June 28, 2022 | Virtual Event
Today’s consumers expect brands to stand up for important social issues and stand out from the crowd by putting those values front and center in their interactions across channels and as part of the business. And that expectation is only growing in the next generation of customers.
But the pressure to focus on the purchase decision and lower funnel ad spend can make it difficult to find space in your strategy to engage in meaningful ways that resonate with customers. Marketers also run the risk of accusations of opportunism and inauthenticity if the only place those values show up is on social posts or in commercials.
