UPCOMING SEMINAR
We live in an era of extraordinary behavioural intelligence. We have neuroscience, nudge theory, behavioural economics, digital targeting, and decades of psychology informing how humans make decisions. And yet the gap between what we know people should do and what they actually do – in their health, their consumption, their civic and environmental choices – has arguably never felt wider.
In this complex world, the call to action is large-scale behaviour change. The discipline of social marketing was founded on a deceptively simple insight in the 1970s: if marketing can sell cigarettes and fast food, it can be deployed with equal sophistication to sell ideas and behaviours that benefit society. The concept has been put into practice and used extensively to change public behaviour and promote social change.
Over fifty years later, what has the discipline genuinely learned? This webinar critically examines the social marketing literature with practical insights for those who are in the business of creating social impact.
