TWITTER’S ROLE IN ADVANCING BRAND PURPOSE

Twitter is universally recognized as a platform for activism, social change, and amplifying a message. In fact, its purpose is to “serve the public conversation.” In this session, learn about the disproportionate reaction Twitter’s audience has when brands launch purpose-driven communications and connect their purpose to what’s happening in culture. Also, hear about the strategies and business impact of purpose-driven campaigns from brands like Gillette, Microsoft, Patagonia, and Nike, as well as social movements like #MeToo and #March4OurLives, providing a tangible framework for connecting brand purpose with audiences on Twitter.
