The Internal Marketing Podcast Episode #17 - Engaging Employees to Live Out the Brand Purpose (with Deborah Mersino)
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, employees had already begun to decide that they'd rather work for companies that are making a positive impact on the world. They also wanted to be a part of companies that had similar values to their own. Now, more companies are also realizing the crucial importance of engaging employees in a way that inspires them to deliver on the brand promise.
How? By engaging employees and creating an emotional connection to the brand purpose.
In this episode, leadership consultant and executive coach, Deborah Mersino, who also has more than 25 years of marketing experience, will share some interesting insights about:
- What a brand purpose is, and how it differs from the company mission and vision;
- How companies should be using their brand purpose;
- Why engaging employees in the brand purpose is important to strategic success; and
- Practical examples of companies who have successfully engaged employees around purpose.
