Your brand should make people feel something. It should make us care. If it’s not doing that right now, it’s probably time we talked about how to make yours a CareBrand.
CareBrand is our vision of what all brands should be, including yours. What your brand deserves, in fact.
A CareBrand sells connections, not commodities, they believe in purpose-driven profits and embrace the power of advocacy. They are brands you can buy into, not just from. They don’t just tell their story, they live it, every day. They stand for the world they are trying to build.
CareBrands are action-based brands that act on the three types of needs of their customers; emotional, ethical and social. These actionable needs are addressed by our nine human CareBrand traits.
Your customers’ emotional needs should be addressed with empathy, compassion and authenticity. This enables CareBrands to build deeper relationships and create meaningful experiences that resonate with customers on a genuine and personal level. Emotional traits shape their approach to understanding and connecting with the emotions of their audience.

By communicating that your brand embodies these CareBrand traits you give your customers a reason to care about you and buy into your brand.
