What is Sustainable Marketing — and what is it not?
Amidst growing environmental regulations and public concern demand, we are witnessing the rise of sustainable marketing practices. Yet, sustainable marketing goes far beyond simply communicating a company’s sustainability goals; it calls for a fundamental shift in the entire marketing industry.
In this episode, Daiva Dominyka is joined by Alexis Eyre, a Sustainable Marketing expert and co-author of the book "Sustainable Marketing Compass". Alexis explains the framework - a strategic foundation for embedding sustainability at the heart of marketing.
Join us as we learn how marketers can change the industry for good by shifting away from a solely commercial focus and driving performance across commercial, environmental, and societal targets.
This one is full of teachings, so make sure you have a pen and paper and a focused space to listen.
