Carolyn Butler-Madden is the founder of Sunday Lunch, a marketing consultancy that specialises in cause and purpose-led marketing. Carolyn believes that by aligning a brand with a cause in a way that unlocks both brand and social value, businesses can do well by doing good.
Carolyn is the author of Amazon best-selling book Path To Purpose, Australia’s first book on cause marketing. She’s also a contributing author to B1G1’s Better Business, Better Life, Better World book. Her vision for the future is simple - Brands drive profit through purpose. Marketing becomes a force for good.
In this episode, Carolyn gives us a behind the scenes look at how cause marketing works, and talks about the history of the movement in Australia. She talks about how everything turned pink in Australia to support breast cancer, and how companies jumped on the bandwagon without giving any real thought to how it aligned with their brand. She tells us why this strategy is flawed, and how the ‘pink wave’ was a setback for the cause marketing movement in Australia.
Carolyn talks about the strategies and stories behind some of the brands who are the best at cause marketing, including Zambreros, Airbnb, Pampers, and Allphones. If you want to learn about the power of cause marketing and how you can strategically align giving within your business, then take a listen. Enjoy!
