Building Trust in Green Messaging

Building trust in green messaging: Engaging ‘The Persuadables’ with authentic sustainable advertising

Learn to craft greenwash-proof claims and engage mainstream ‘Persuadables’ to grow your market share.

Join Media Bounty and other industry experts for a discussion on actionable strategies to help your brand cut through greenwash and engage ‘The Persuadables’ to create mainstream impact.

As legislations tighten, consumer trust wavers, and financial, environmental and market pressures rise, it’s never been more important to get your green comms right.

But while the stakes are high, the reward is too. We know that going green is good for business – at least it has been for the 98% of SME’s who’ve made the leap, and for B Corps, who in 2023 outcompeted “ordinary” businesses in terms of both revenue and workforce growth.

The question is: how can we craft compliant, engaging and impactful green comms and drive growth?

In this session, our panel of experts will help you:

• Understand how to show authenticity in today's increasingly saturated landscape.
• Understand the behaviours and motivations of the ‘Persuadables’ – the 69% of the UK who believe climate change is happening, but aren’t too engaged with the topic.
• Navigate the complexities of unfolding greenwash legislation.
• Explore successful green campaigns that have cut through the noise.
• Grasp actionable insights to help your brand cut through greenwashing and drive mainstream impact.

Date and Time: 29th February, 12 – 1pm

Location: Online

Who Should Attend: Marketers, sustainability professionals, and anyone interested in effective and ethical green messaging.
