Ariadna Navarro Guest on Rockstar CMO FM
Ari explores brands' new role as beacons of society and how activating a brand purpose is a business asset
VSA’s Chief Growth Officer Ariadna Navarro was recently a guest on the podcast Rockstar CMO FM, hosted by Ian Truscott.
Ari and Ian examined how the role brands are expected to play in society has shifted: as the institutions that once acted as moral compasses failed or ceased to command respect, society has increasingly turned to corporations to provide the same level of ethical guidance we once expected from religions, governments, and educational centers.
In fact, some brands even command a cult-like status not unlike a religion, with passionate communities rallying around a charismatic business leader.
Ari and Ian discussed how brands can embrace this newfound role as purpose-providers with responsibility and credibility, and how embracing brand as a business asset can help brands build purposeful growth throughout their entire ecosystems and successfully articulate their offerings to consumers.
