Social change campaigns are taking the marketing world by storm. Not only do they encourage brand loyalty and brand advocacy for a brand but also empower and inspire people to advance a cause or drive a change. These campaigns are developed by marketers and are usually launched to create awareness, educate people, and attract new customers.
Social change campaigns are therefore a very important part of business growth and success. Social change campaigns can provide a company with the motivation and drive to help them achieve its goals. Companies have started to adopt different approaches to social change campaigns, with influencer programs being one of the most popular ways to drive growth and inspire change.
A challenge however is that a lot of businesses struggle to grasp the power of social media and the impact of influencers on business growth. The two topics have enabled the creation of a new marketing department – the influencer marketing department.
In this episode and post, we look at how to combine the two topics to create social change campaigns. These are inspired by the biggest social change campaigns of all time. You will learn how influencer programs can be used to get the right people involved in the campaign and help drive growth.
