What does your brand stand for?
If you’ve never considered it, now’s the time. Today’s consumers – especially Millennial and Gen Z – vote with their dollar, and want to support brands that make a difference, not just a profit.
This week, SnackNation Chief Revenue Officer Chelsie Lee sits down with Briana Crane, the Director of Development at Feeding America, to understand the connection between purpose, profit, and giving back.
The Feeding America network is the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, and they partner with hundreds of brands across the U.S. to help end hunger in America. Both Briana and Chelsie have unique insight into the ways philanthropic giving can help create a lasting affinity and deeper loyalty with your brand.
Feeding America is also a case study in brand building in its own right. Even after a relatively recent name change, nearly half of all charitable givers recognize the Feeding America brand.
Finally, Briana delves deeply into the problem Feeding America is solving, and the ways brand storytelling helps inspire people to get involved.
