Marketing de causa

Brazil was the country that remained with closed schools for the longest time during the Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in a setback of at least a decade in education. The social, political and economic costs of this serious lag are still unknown.

In this context, cause-related marketing (or cause marketing, which is related to the sale of social products) arises as an important tool to promote and generate resources for a social cause, as is the case of education, with the private sector and non-governmental organizations working together.

This way, brands can associate a product to our cause, so that part or all of the money raised from the sale of this item is reverted to our educational projects. A simple and meaningful way to generate value among the different audiences with which the brand relates and still contribute to society as a whole.

Seventy percent of the consumers interviewed by EY Parthenon consultants in 2020 stated, for example, that they would pay more attention to the social impacts caused by the products and brands they consume. Therefore, linking brands to social products to help education cause addresses different demands, such as, for example, attention to consumers’ desires for a more conscious purchase, prioritization of the ESG agenda, and creation of value and better reputation with various stakeholders.
