I put together a starter pack of people I could find here who work in social marketing (not social media mktg).

If you use marketing to influence behaviors for health/social/environmental good, or know others who should be on the list, let me know and I'll add you.

When designing health messages, don't only consider their effectiveness, but also any potential unintended consequences on the mental health of those exposed to the campaign.

The "How Right Now" COVID mental health campaign evaluation is out and shows it was effective. Those exposed had increased feelings of resilience and confidence in using coping strategies.

If you're interested in storytelling for behavior change & social impact, here's my article in the Palgrove Encyclopedia of Social Marketing.

It covers how stories influence behavior and examples of how to use it most effectively in an intervention.

I'm still on the lookout for my fellow social marketers.

Do you use marketing for behavior change, social change, public health, environmental causes, etc? Or study/teach it?

Say hi and let me know what you're doing!

There's a new starter pack directory from @il.ly, sorted by category, at blueskystarterpack.com.

For some reason mine is not coming up in search, so I changed the name from Social Marketers to Social Marketing (the most likely search phrase), but still not showing up.

Great example from @behscientist.bsky.social of how the words we use to describe a concept, that make total sense to us, can be completely misconstrued.

It's true for professional jargon, or really any words.

This is why pretesting messaging with our audience is key!

Robinson has a slightly different spin on Wiebe's classic question (~1951?) that eventually led to the development of the field of social marketing:

"Why can't we sell brotherhood like soap?"

It's a case study of how we developed both the supply side of the soy industry and spurred demand on the consumer side. And how the campaign balanced the commercial and public health objectives.

How can you tie your target behavior or product to a feeling of safety, to connect with their core value?

Haven't seen any discussion of Trump's plan to launch a large-scale ad campaign on fentanyl.

I've been concerned about how funding for social marketing might be affected by the election, so hopefully this would be more than a "just say no" style campaign, and actually evidence based.
