1 Define your purpose and objectives

Before launching any CSR campaign, you need to have a clear vision of why you are doing it and what you want to achieve. Your purpose should reflect your core values and mission, and your objectives should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Your purpose and objectives will guide your campaign design, implementation, and evaluation, and help you avoid greenwashing or superficial actions that may damage your credibility and trust.

The starting point for aligning the CSR campaign with the marketing strategy is identifying the mission and values shared with the brand. The CSR activities must be linked to the brand's DNA and not considered complementary or isolated. The CSR campaigns must be designed as cases within the brand that would positively influence consumers' behavior. To operate with transparently to communicate the efforts made and to verify the steps taken.

2 Identify your target audience and stakeholders

Your CSR campaign should not only target your customers, but also your employees, suppliers, investors, media, regulators, and communities. Each of these groups has different needs, expectations, and interests in your CSR activities, and you need to segment and prioritize them according to your objectives. You also need to research and understand their preferences, motivations, and behaviors, and tailor your messages and channels accordingly. For example, you may use social media, blogs, or podcasts to reach younger and more tech-savvy customers, and newsletters, reports, or events to communicate with more formal and professional stakeholders.

Este punto es sumamente interesante porque en marketing hablamos de target y estamos acostumbrados a ir por consumidores y buscar conversiones. En la RSE se trata de stakeholders y lo que podríamos llamar conversión será simplemente la visualización de un video, la visita a una landing page, la suscripción a nuestro newsletter de sostenibilidad o la descarga de nuestro informe. Identificar al público en un esfuerzo de comunicación de RSE implica un trabajo más a fondo que simplemente crear un target. Es necesario desarrollar un mapeo de stakeholders con la matriz de interés/poder y delimitar acciones con base en ello. Cada stakeholder requerirá diferentes canales, formatos, tonos y copys, aunque el mensaje central sea el mismo.

A CSR targeting customers or the community is much different than a CSR campaign targeting current or prospective employees. Both want to know that they have made, or can make, a difference by being associated with you. The public wants something bite-sized, while employees want to feel that they are deeply involved.

3 Align your campaign with your brand identity and positioning

Your CSR campaign should not be a separate or isolated initiative, but an integral part of your brand identity and positioning. Your brand identity is the set of attributes and values that define who you are and what you stand for, and your brand positioning is the way you differentiate yourself from your competitors in the market. Your CSR campaign should reinforce and enhance your brand identity and positioning, and create a consistent and coherent image across all your marketing channels and touchpoints. For example, if your brand identity is based on innovation and quality, your CSR campaign should showcase how you use technology and best practices to solve social and environmental challenges.

If your brand is local, your CSR investment should be local. If it is industry-specific, then invest in a social movement that aligns (ie a professional sports team supporting underserved kids sport programs).

4 Choose your campaign theme and tactics

Your campaign theme is the main idea or message that you want to convey to your audience and stakeholders, and your campaign tactics are the specific actions or activities that you use to deliver your theme. Your campaign theme should be relevant, compelling, and memorable, and your campaign tactics should be creative, engaging, and effective. For example, if your campaign theme is to reduce plastic waste, your campaign tactics could include launching a reusable packaging program, partnering with a recycling organization, or creating a viral video challenge.

D'abord; le "net zero carbon" n'existe pas. Supprimez le de vos communications. Et si vous hésitez à vous lancer dans la communication de vos initiatives à impact : 1. Reconnaissez le chemin à faire ; si vous êtes une entreprise, vous n'êtes ni leader ni pionnier dans la transition écologique et sociale. 2. Admettez le retard sur certains sujets et communiquez clairement sur ce que vous allez faire pour combler ce déficit. 3. Chiffrez vos résultats ; ceux de vos actions et l'impact concret sur vos écosystèmes (de la biodiversité, à la solidarité territoriale). En bref, du bon sens :)

Make it shareable. The best campaign is one that allows customers to tell their friends about why they are proud to purchase from you. Let them wear it like a badge. Make a customer that makes a customer.

5 Monitor and measure your campaign performance and impact

To ensure that your CSR campaign is achieving your objectives and creating positive outcomes, you need to monitor and measure your campaign performance and impact. Your campaign performance refers to the quantitative indicators that show how well your campaign is reaching and influencing your audience and stakeholders, such as impressions, clicks, shares, or conversions. Your campaign impact refers to the qualitative indicators that show how your campaign is affecting the social and environmental issues that you are addressing, such as awareness, attitudes, behaviors, or outcomes. You need to establish clear and realistic metrics and benchmarks for both performance and impact, and collect and analyze data from various sources, such as surveys, feedback, testimonials, or reports.

6 Learn and improve your campaign continuously

Your CSR campaign is not a one-time or static project, but a dynamic and ongoing process that requires constant learning and improvement. You need to review and evaluate your campaign results regularly, and identify what worked well and what did not. You also need to seek and incorporate feedback and suggestions from your audience and stakeholders, and adapt and optimize your campaign accordingly. You also need to keep up with the latest trends and best practices in CSR and marketing, and look for new opportunities and challenges to innovate and grow your campaign. By doing so, you will ensure that your CSR campaign is always aligned with your overall marketing strategy and delivers value and impact for your business and society.

While it doesn't often dawn on business people, I believe it is important for your brand protector (a.k.a. your trademark attorney/firm) to align with your brand's ESG values. Your brand is the embodiment of your values. If the law firm you work with to protect your brand doesn't understand and share your values, how good will they be at protecting your brand? If your brand is about preservation of public lands for their natural beauty, and let's also say that the law firm you use has an oil and gas focus. Well, the likelihood is that your law firm is working against your brand's environmental mission when they work for their oil and gas clients which want to extract oil and gas from public lands is high. Something to consider at least.
