Brand Purpose/Brands for Humans
Businesses and brands only succeed when society succeeds, but marketers must also demonstrate rightful empathy around the issues.
This begins by shifting from B2B and B2C toward B4H – Brands for Humans – and embracing a purpose statement focused on maximum market impact.
The Challenge
Having a reason to exist beyond turning a profit is not a novel concept for most brands, but brand purpose has grown in significance and quickly become marketing's new North Star, inspiring brand growth and serving to unite and guide entire organizations.

Committees
Bringing marketers together to learn from each other and debate new approaches and solutions to industry hurdles.
A benefit of ANA membership, committee meetings feature a mix of member case studies, perspective from outside experts, and benchmarking/best-practice sharing that drive thought leadership on key industry issues. Each ANA committee meets three to four times per year and can be attended in person or remotely. Depending on the committee, 10 to 30 participants may attend — big enough for diversity of opinion, yet small enough for more intimate exchanges.
