Abstract:

In today’s marketplace, consumers want brands to take a stand on sociopolitical issues. When brands match activist messaging, purpose, and values with prosocial corporate practice, they engage in authentic brand activism, creating the most potential for social change and the largest gains in brand equity. In contrast, brands that detach their activist messaging from their purpose, values, and practice are enacting inauthentic brand activism through the practice of “woke washing,” potentially misleading consumers with their claims, damaging both their brand equity and potential for social chang

Abstract:

Global and local brands have increasingly embraced brand activism in recent years. In brand activism, brands not only take a stand on social, political, environmental, or economic issues but also take action to solve these problems. Despite the popularity of the practice, there is still much to explore about the dynamics of brand activism strategies including how activist brands’ strategies differ. Considering the brand activism literature in Turkey, most research on activism is examined as a homogeneous category, with little regard for the nuances in brands’ use of brand activism.

Abstract:

Although social issues have been considered by the business world for decades, these topics have never gained such preponderance as in the 21st century. Given the great pressures for brands to broaden their responsibilities towards society, brand activism emerges as a new strategy for companies to address relevant social-political issues, assuming a public stance on these topics and taking action to solve or improve them. However, not all brands are managing to participate in an era of activism, and even those that participate do not always get positive feedback from their stakeholders. The ma

Trendwatchers have spotted some seismic shifts in relations between business and politics. Particularly, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) are increasingly weighing in on greater good issues. Although a global phenomenon, current CEO activism scholarship reflects a Western focus; an ideological bias for modernist perspectives; a preponderance of White male CEO voices, and the relative elision of female activist CEOs. While, generally, no empirically-based typology of the sociopolitical issues that matter to activist CEOs exists, the specific range of causes of particular concern to non-Western C

Brand activism is becoming a natural evolution beyond the values-driven Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programs that are, frankly, too slow.

Consumer activism refers to consumers collectively acting to create change in companies, and this phenomenon has been further strengthened by the new communication tools and social media brought by the digital age. In the past, companies largely controlled trends and consumer preferences with traditional advertising and marketing strategies. However, consumers’ increasing awareness and organizational skills have changed these power dynamics. Now, consumers can make their voices heard through social media platforms and digital tools and become an effective force for social change. However, cons

Today, more and more brands aspire to transcend their primary function and have a positive impact on society.

Inconsistency in the effects of activism is noted in the literature, and certain factors seem to moderate reactions.

Four trends would seem to be empowering environmentalists who target corporations with global brands: the increasing reach of social media, growing numbers of campaigns, the corporate turn toward “sustainability” to create brand value and manage supply chains, and the spread of eco-consumerism. Campaigns since 2007 to demand that brands stop buying palm oil linked to tropical deforestation confirm the rising influence over corporate policies and market demand. Many activists are portraying the outcomes as “victories” toward saving rainforests. Yet, three factors are limiting the value for impr

Abstract:

National policymakers are now faced with the challenge of implementing the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving the scopes envisioned through its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. Diversity discrimination and social inequalities often responsible for sociopolitical uncertainty are at the heart of the agenda. Increasingly, corporations are pushed to take a public stance on controversial issues, promoting social improvements through their power to lead social change. This phenomenon is known in the academic literature as brand activism (BA). Many companies, f

Abstract:

This study analyses the role of communication in social activism from models that surpass the mere emotional reaction, prior belief reinforcement or brand identification. This paper tests the hypothesis that a message focused on the cause (and its results) will motivate a previously sensitized audience depending on their interactions with source favorability. The methodology is based on the design of a bifactor experimental action result study 2 (failure versus success) x 2 valences (favorable versus unfavorable source) with the participation of 297 people who are pro-avoidance of evictions.

Abstract:

Japanese youth goods have become globally popular over the past 15 years. Referred to as `cool', their contribution to the national economy has been much hyped under the catchword Japan's `GNC' (gross national cool). While this new national brand is indebted to youth — youth are the intended consumers for such products and sometimes the creators — young Japanese today are also chastised for not working hard, failing at school and work, and being insufficiently productive or reproductive. Using the concept of immaterial labor, the article argues that such `J-cool' products as Pokémon are both b

Abstract:

Consumer boycotts have emerged as a significant force in modern markets, with research indicating that up to 42% of multinational corporations and 54% of prominent brands currently face such actions. The growing prevalence of consumer activism represents a fundamental shift in consumer-corporate relationships, where ethical considerations increasingly drive purchasing decisions. Despite extensive research on boycott outcomes, significant gaps exist in understanding the longitudinal effects of boycotts across diverse cultural contexts and the specific mechanisms through which social media ampli

Stakeholders have long pressured firms to provide societal benefits in addition to generating shareholder wealth. Such benefits have traditionally come in the form of corporate social responsibility. However, many stakeholders now expect firms to demonstrate their values by expressing public support for or opposition to one side of a partisan sociopolitical issue, a phenomenon the authors call “corporate sociopolitical activism” (CSA). Such activities differ from commonly favored corporate social responsibility and have the potential to both strengthen and sever stakeholder relationships, thus
