A 'purpose' is for life, not just for advertising Authenticity is critical: Your purpose should be something people value, something you can do, and ideally something only you can do These are topics that lend themselves to stories – and showing, not telling, is critical to landing the message and building support
Your campaign must show how your brand or business delivers on the purpose
Brand Purpose: You can’t fake it
Emotionally-aware technology and insights can help businesses bring people with them, and avoid damaging backlashes
