How do you spark a movement?
SOME PRINCIPLES
1. START WITH YOUR BRAND TRUTH AND IDENTIFY AN IDEA ON THE RISE
Why does your brand exist today?
What is going on today in consumer culture that makes your brand more or less culturally relevant?
What role does it or could it play in culture?
What idea in culture could it champion?
2. CATALYZE THIS INTO A SHARED CULTURAL GOAL OR ETHOS
To make Americans rethink dumb, mindless consumption
To bond parents, children and teachers through character-building creativity
To turn male bonding moments into community improving initiatives
3. ACTIVATE THE BRAND IDEA, NOT JUST BROADCAST IT
Movements are more than messages.
What do you want people to DO as a result of your idea?
What assets can you create that:
i. Allow your community to participate in this idea?
ii. Demonstrate that your brand is doing something, not just talking about it?
3. ACTIVATE THE BRAND IDEA, NOT JUST BROADCAST IT
To make Americans rethink dumb, mindless consumption

5. PROVOKE / IGNITE A SENSE OF COMMUNITY AND CAUSE
How can you create or leverage existing communities?
What powerful symbols and iconography can you you create to catalyze your efforts and make people feel part of the community?
How can these members see their tangible actions in the movement?

MOVEMENT IS ALWAYS
