Global development and advocacy organization World Vision and regional integrated communications agency ComCo Southeast Asia continue their mission of giving companies and brands opportunities to give back. Through its Citizen ComCo initiative, this time the focus is on supporting micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through the Cause Marketing for Good Virtual Conference.

The Cause Marketing for Good Virtual Conference

Created and organized by World Vision and ComCo Southeast Asia, the Cause Marketing for Good Virtual Conference is part of the organization’s larger initiative to orient MSMEs on the value of cause-related marketing or CRM. This is especially relevant in today’s pandemic environment because it will equip them on how to champion social issues through their marketing efforts.

~ Doing good is good business. This is a great motto for MSMEs. ~

Happening on July 21, 2 p.m., the online conference will include sessions on defining CRM, CRM’s impact on sales from AirAsia, and how to use e-commerce to forward your cause from Lazada. There will also be a panel discussion on how to create effective CRM campaigns featuring experts and practitioners of the field such as ComCo Southeast Asia for public relations and Ideas X Machina for creatives.

The ongoing pandemic has had a massive effect on the economy, with MSMEs taking the brunt, as they make up 99.5% of business establishments in the Philippines. Moreover, they employ 62.4% of the country’s workforce according to the Philippine Statistics Authority.

MSMEs are currently facing huge hurdles to keep their businesses afloat, especially in the face of quarantine regulations and economic slowdown.

Bayanihan: Working Together

But with the challenge brought about by the pandemic comes the bayanihan spirit – the value of Filipino community as they work together towards a common goal. This has urged individuals, communities, organizations, and even brands and companies, to band together and help each other during this crisis.

Filipino consumers, especially millennials and Gen Zers, respond positively to brands and companies that support advocacies and stand for causes and values that they believe in.

According to the Global Millennial Survey 2021 by professional services firm Deloitte, millennials and Gen Zers are concerned about the positive impact of businesses on society. These young consumers tend to make decisions aligned with their values. More than a quarter of the respondents say that a businesses’ impact on the environment influences their buying decisions, expecting brands to be aligned with their personal values before they invest in their products or services.

Socially-Conscious Businesses

In the eyes of consumers, businesses can and have the responsibility to do good – and doing good actually makes for good business. Through the Cause Marketing for Good Campaign and Virtual Conference, World Vision and ComCo Southeast Asia look forward to helping more MSMEs build strong connections with their customers through effective and sustainable cause-related marketing campaigns. These are the ones that allow them to sell while also creating a positive social impact in the Philippines.
