The Social Marketer
Social marketing refers to the application of marketing, sometimes in conjunction with other concepts and techniques, to achieve behavioural goals for a social good. It is an area of marketing that is slowly gaining recognition and influence. These days, people are far more aware of their peers and their surroundings and marketing therefore has to keep step with these developments in the public’s consciousness.
Health issues, environmental issues and behavioural issues are all headline news. Marketing must therefore make an investment in these areas to find answers to the many unanswered questions associated with such issues. Social marketing does not deliver profits in the same way as commercial marketing but the benefits to “social good” can be invaluable.
