If the world has such clear solutions to poverty-related problems...
WHY DO MILLIONS STILL SUFFER EACH YEAR?
Because people must form new habits to drink from a new water source, sleep
under a mosquito net regularly, plant an unfamiliar crop, or eat something new.
OLD HABITS DIE HARD.
And anyone who's tried changing habits knows
you can't just tell people what's best for them.

We believe deeply in social impact organizations around the world. With a bit of help, many are ready to go beyond educating and to begin marketing. The community-based approach we practice and teach starts with cultural understanding, lending power to communication strategies. This enables our clients to get the people they serve to embrace critical solutions and ideas.
I’ve been here 18 years, and you’ve reshaped the way we think about our program’s reach and what’s possible.
We weren’t even capable of envisioning these results before discovering the rationale and process behind social marketing.
This is it! We’ve pinpointed what we must do. Now, working backwards from there becomes easy!
