Deep dives
The Misunderstanding of Brand Purpose
Purpose within brands remains relevant, yet it is frequently misinterpreted. Many companies made significant commitments to purpose during 2020 but have since retreated from these commitments, leading to skepticism about its viability. However, successful brands not only adhere to their purposes but also perform well across key metrics, including consumer purchasing intentions and employee retention. This indicates that the challenge is not whether to pursue purpose but rather how to effectively integrate it within brand strategies.
