Social Marketing and Sustainability - MKTG309

Social Marketing seeks to develop and integrate marketing concepts with other approaches to influence behaviours that benefit individuals and communities for the greater social good. Social Marketing practice is guided by ethical principles. It seeks to integrate research, best practice, theory, audience and partnership insight, to inform the delivery of competition sensitive and segmented social change programmes that are effective, efficient, equitable and sustainable. (iSMA, 2013). Examples of social marketing include campaigns to prevent or reduce alcohol consumption, tackle obesity, smoking, drug abuse, sustainability, domestic violence and unsafe driving. This unit examines the key principles of social marketing, and explores how to design a marketing strategy that can support social change efforts. The unit uses a case study approach drawing on current and historic Australian and international campaigns.
