Three takeaways from the July 9 Do Sustainability webinar “Creating a Sustainable Brand” with Henk Campher @AngryAfrican and Mike Berry @planamikebarry
1. “Is it relevant to ME?” is the KEY consumer question for creating sustainable products, which are the bedrock of a sustainable brand
2. A cigarette is still a harmful product, no matter how sustainably it’s made. Great @AngryAfrican insight regarding product vs. process.
3. Henk Campfer lays out how companies embed sustainability as a value proposition journey, from Marlboro to Method:
Ignored-Marlboro
Complied-McDonalds
Observed-Apple
Aligned-Dove
Acquired-Nike
Enhanced-Levi’s
Inspired-TOM’s
Designed-Method
