The responsible marketing award
Responsible marketing is an approach that ensures you’re not only meeting customers’ needs but also having a positive impact on them and the community you’re both a part of. It’s about building trust, and there are several ways brands can do this. Showcase your best responsible marketing campaign, which covers one or all of these themes:
- Sustainable marketing: For any brand who is doing their part for sustainability. This could be related to a new product range, an existing CSR project, or education for your customers on how to make their product last longer.
- Ethical marketing: Brands who have responsible practices and demonstrate their commitment to improving social and economic crises and form strong connections with customers. Brands support causes and movements close to their hearts, which could reflect areas of diversity and inclusion
- Data stewardship: One of the biggest and hardest to overcome is the growing importance of a brands’ handling of customers’ data and privacy. Are you open, honest, and transparent when collecting customer data? Do you ensure subscribers are fully informed and know what you plan to do with their data?
- Philanthropic marketing or cause-related marketing: Brands that are going above and beyond to support non-profitable causes, raising awareness for underrepresented groups or contributions to the local community.
