    6:30 PM - Marketing Club

    The world is at a tipping point – climate change, plastic pollution, bush fires, disappearing forests, a global pandemic and explosive conversations about diversity and inclusion. Now, more than ever, it is important for all types of brands to have authentic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives that are not a publicity spin or greenwashing. Marketers and business leaders have a significant role to play when it comes to promoting and driving sustainability; and need to be part of the solution. 

    In an age of the rising conscious consumer and increasing demands on businesses towards more transparency, it is now vital for brands to communicate their responsible and sustainable practices, to follow through on the promises they make. 

    Research shows that CSR improves long-term business performance and that consumers prefer to patronise organisations with strong histories of social responsibility and are more likely to buy from companies with strong ethical values. Customers and employees are speaking with their values as well as their wallets!

    In this webinar you’ll learn how to incorporate CSR values into a marketing strategy and brand. You will also understand the difference between CSR, PR and marketing. This will enable you to create strong, enduring brands, where the PR and marketing flows from the CSR values, which will benefit the brands that you are working for including your customers and investors.
