Business 101 from COVID-19: We want see brands do ‘more good’

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

“More than three quarters (78%) want brands to adapt their business for the greater good” – Havas Meaningful Brands Study, 2020

No-one saw this crisis coming or realised the enormous impact it would have on our local businesses and our communities.

Thankfully, we’ve seen the good of this crisis bring our community so much closer.

However, more than ever consumers are wanting to see brands ‘doing good’ in our community by helping others and giving support.

What does the research say? 

The Havas Meaningful Brands Study 2020 surveyed the attitudes of 300,000 people from all over the world to understand consumer needs and concerns during the crisis.

Of the 1,000 Australians surveyed, two-thirds (66%) would abandon a brand that purely focus on selling and commercial goals during this period and more than three quarters (78%) want brands to adapt their business for the greater good.

And Australian consumers would not mind if 77% of brands in their lives simply disappeared overnight.
