Never before have we talked so much about brand purpose, nor looked at diversity and inclusion as we do now. But... what are we doing besides talking? Including these topics in your Marketing tactics is an excellent strategy, but this can backfire if it’s not aligned thoughout the core of your company. In this article, we invite you to think about the real brand purpose, and why companies need to become the change they are tweeting about.
