The Marketing Mission: Balancing Social Responsibility and the Growth Imperative
June 28, 2022 | Virtual Event
Today’s consumers expect brands to stand up for important social issues and stand out from the crowd by putting those values front and center in their interactions across channels and as part of the business. And that expectation is only growing in the next generation of customers.

Marketers also run the risk of accusations of opportunism and inauthenticity if the only place those values show up is on social posts or in commercials. We’re bringing together marketing leaders from across industries who are making connections with consumers and building social responsibility into their core brand value proposition—while fueling significant growth.
