Do Well By Doing Good 2018
While Public Good is best known as the leader in connecting news with ways for people to take action, over the last year we’ve expanded our business into helping brands leverage their social impact initiatives by including their customers. Why? Because 89% of American consumers (and a growing number worldwide) now consider brands’ social impact to be key in buying decisions and brands are increasingly stepping in where government isn’t getting the job done.
Consider brands like Patagonia, Lyft, and Starbucks. They have differentiated themselves from their competitors not just through great products, but through incredible impact programs that help protect the environment, evacuate people from disaster areas, and so much more. In each case, impact has become part of the brand story and customers feel good with each purchase they make.
But how do these brands succeed where so many have failed? How did Facebook go from digital connector to alleged political conspirator? And how are brands dealing with new realities like #MeToo, #MarchForOurLives, #DeleteUber, and more?
Public Good is in a unique position to analyze these trends. Our news partnerships have allowed us to develop one of the world’s largest repository of nonprofits and the actions that people take to support them. And through our emerging leadership as a platform for brands’ social good initiatives, we’ve participated in or advised on many of the most successful impact programs. We were also able to take advantage of research by thought leaders like Edelman and Porter Novelli. The result is Do Well By Doing Good 2018, our groundbreaking white paper on brands and social impact that’s also a kickstart guide for brands looking to develop social impact initiatives or take their existing ones to the next level. It’s designed for executives in marketing, communications, and human resources as well as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and for companies ranging from tech startups to the Fortune 500.
