ANA Members Acknowledge Consumers’ Call for Stand-for-Something Marketing
The Association of National Advertisers select “brand purpose” as 2018’s Words of the Year.
Consumers are increasingly calling for transparency on, and commitment to, a purpose-driven brand message, reports Mediapost.com.
The article included a quote from the statement the Association of National Advertisers released to accompany its announcement of the 2018 Words of the Year: “Purpose-driven marketing is exemplified by Procter & Gamble’s ‘Love Over Bias.’ The commercial depicts the impact of bias on people’s lives through the lens of a wide range of mothers who are shown encouraging and supporting their child athletes in a world that isn’t always accepting of them.”

The term “AI” was chosen by the ANA for Word of the Year in 2017.
