A movement is more than the sum of its parts. It has life purpose of itself. When we market a movement, we are selling the the values, vision and commitment that connect us all.
Movement marketing works best in three areas:
reinforcing positive social values
securing and promoting commitments to climate leadership
co-marketing solutions that connect with social priorities and aspirations.
Marketing the movement is when we use common messaging to promoting public support for climate leadership and action.
Marketing as a movement is when the messaging is reinforced across the entire movement.
