Oxford Brookes Research Area Lead and Senior Lecturer in Marketing, Dr Sarah-Louise Mitchell discusses her paper: Refocusing marketing effort to support net-positive social impact. How can marketing go beyond profit to drive real social change? In this episode, Sarah-Louise explores how nonprofits, local government, businesses and researchers can refocus their marketing efforts to achieve net-positive social impact. Drawing from her latest research, we discuss the Social Impact Pathway (SIP) framework, the challenges of measuring meaningful change, and the role marketing plays in tackling biodiversity loss, climate change, and social inequalities. Tune in to discover how impact-driven marketing can move beyond greenwashing and create lasting, measurable change.
