Quotes from Charlie Cooke:

"For me it’s really fundamental thing. A lot my thinking around it starts with, and maybe for lots of people, the Simon Sinek  “Start with Why”  book. It’s around why the company exists, like how we communicate our ideas clearly, build relationships with customers, it’s actually a starting point for a company.

I’ve started to see some research that there is that shift towards cause marketing, activism where where they kind of expect a brand to have a purpose.”
