Planet Driven Brands Podcast Jane Asscher. Jane founded 23Red over 20 years ago and can genuinely be described as a pioneer in the formation of a purpose led, sustainable agency. Others have followed in her footsteps and it has taken two decades for the marketing world to finally catch up! 'Changing behaviour for the better' is in her DNA! In this fascinating pod Jane takes us through her journey and demonstrates how the times have changed She suggests that clients are so much more receptive to sustainability as part of the business plan. This is despite their inherent 'anxiety' about having their own point-of-view. We discuss how the word 'sustainable' has itself evolved and how it is now interpreted. We appreciate that leadership is so important and honorable mentions go to Keith Weed and Unilever for leading the way when no-one else was ready to follow. 23Red is also leading the way in endeavours to become a B-Corp. Its always interesting to hear how businesses use this challenge to grow themselves. Importantly we start with a chat about the high expectations of consumers and how they are disappointed with the pace of change. As she says: "What we found really alarming was that only 34% of consumers said they believed business were having a positive effect on sustainability!" Jane, like all our panellists, is passionate about her role plus the role everyone is playing in creating a better future. Here she spells out how the agency/client world must change and how consumers must be able to trust the brands they support Here, in Planet Driven Brands Podcast Jane Asscher shares this passion and her experiences with us.
