Identifying a brand's purpose is an essential step in creating a purpose-led marketing strategy that resonates with customers. Here are some key considerations to help you identify your brand's purpose:
First, consider the values and beliefs that drive your brand. What are the core principles that guide your decisions and actions? What is the mission of your company, beyond just selling products or services?
Next, think about your target audience. Who are the people you are trying to reach with your marketing messages? What do they care about, and how can your brand's purpose align with their values and needs?
You may also want to look at your company's history and culture to identify any key themes or values that have been consistent over time. This could include things like a commitment to sustainability, a focus on innovation, or a dedication to social responsibility.
Once you have a sense of your brand's purpose, it's important to communicate it clearly and consistently across all of your marketing channels. This could include developing a purpose-driven messaging platform, creating content that showcases your brand's values, and aligning your marketing campaigns with social causes that are important to your customers.
?Remember, identifying your brand's purpose is an ongoing process that requires ongoing reflection and adaptation. As your company evolves and the needs of your customers change, it's important to stay responsive and continue refining your purpose-led marketing strategy to ensure that it remains relevant and effective over time.

1 年Dear Asitha. Thanks for the well written article which summarizes the essence of an emerging market strategy. On Disney, perhaps you may have seen that it ran into some hot water by skewing its marketing to incorporate some fringe elements which are politically controversial. Budweiser is facing a similar backlash. Hence marketing strategy should be far more inclusive without been seen as somewhat partisan even at the margin.
