Purpose and Sustainability in Marketing

Purpose and Sustainability are the hot topics in marketing in 2021.

Purpose now sits at the core of marketing. Purpose is “an organisation’s enduring and meaningful reason to exist, that aligns with long-term financial performance and provides a clear context for daily decision making and unifies and motivates relevant stakeholders.” Edburt, Hurth, Prabu

Sustainability becomes intertwined with purpose as we look to serve the long-term well being of everyone and every thing. This should be the overarching goal of any organisation.
