The following is a conversation between Myriam Sidibe, Author of Brands on a Mission: How to Achieve Social Impact and Business Growth through Purpose, and Denver Frederick, the Host of the Business of Giving. There was a time when developing impactful social missions and driving business growth were considered to be mutually exclusive. Today, however, they are linked more closely than they have ever been. No one understands that connection better than my next guest. She is Myriam Sidibe, the author of Brands on a Mission: How to Achieve Social Impact and Business Growth Through Purpose.
Our guest today on the pod is Myriam Sidibe. Myriam's life work has been to infuse values and social purpose into marketing campaigns, aiming to spark positive social change. While at Unilever, she launched Global Handwashing Day with it's Lifebouy brand bringing it to millions of people and bettering hygiene and health outcomes around the globe.

For Myriam Sidibe – a public health expert with experience leading on social mission at Unilever, and author of a new book, 'Brands on a Mission' – current crises underscore the need for organisations to get to grips with their purpose. “Brands and companies that have a history of having tackled these core social issues are coming out of [these times] extremely well. And the rest are falling fast, and far from everyone else,” she says. “It takes years of commitment to be a brand on a mission, so if there is a time when they should reset their business model: it is now.” Edited by Caroline Hailstone.

Even the most active people have gone into lockdown and perhaps started to support their local community or gotten involved in a wider social movement. The most proactive may have even written a book. Dr Myriam Sidibe has done all of these things! Myriam is the woman behind the multi award winning and UN recognized Global Handwashing Day. She has focused her professional life’s work on handwashing, leading Unilever’s Lifebuoy programme and is a senior Fellow at the Mossavar Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard Kennedy School.

Their mission is to apply and share global best practice in cross sector collaboration and partnering. “In parallel the rest of everything else I am working on hasn't stopped either.” Explains Myriam. “I am a public health worker. I have spent 20 plus years thinking about handwashing and most of it from the private sector, now is the time to accelerate these learnings to the world.” Myriam shares why she has written her new book: ‘Brands on a Mission.’ A guide and plethora of practical examples highlighting the importance of creating a performance culture that is built on driving impact through purpose, and the type of talent required to drive these transformational changes within companies - from CEO to brand developers.

Myriam Sidibe, senior fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School, says that brands are uniquely positioned to encourage shifts in consumer behavior that benefit individuals, communities, and the environment. A public health expert, she has studied these types of mission-led marketing campaigns and helped Unilever design one for Lifebuoy soap that not only promoted hand-washing in the developing world but also boosted the business's bottom line. She explains how companies of any size can find the right causes, craft authentic messages, and measure the return on their investments, adding that the current pandemic and economic crisis have made this work even more important. Sidibe is the author of the HBR article "Marketing Meets Mission."
