A 2021 PwC consumer poll across 22 countries found that more than half of consumers have become more eco-friendly during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a society, we’re increasingly aware of the devastating effects storms, wildfires, and drought have on our everyday lives. We know we need to make changes; however, many people just don’t know where to start. A recent study from Brands for Good found that 41% of Americans were unsure how to live more sustainably. That’s where brands can help – through education, inspiration, and products that make it easy for consumers to take baby steps to a more sustainable future.

The media often paints a picture of Millennials and Gen Z as frivolous and social media obsessed, but, in reality, they are savvy consumers with billions in spending power. And, as they reach adulthood, their need for – and use of – insurance products is prime for growth. In fact, researchers found that in the next three years Millennials and Gen Z will make significant life changes which include buying homes and cars, having children, and changing jobs or starting businesses. The question is, are insurers prepared to capitalize on these changes?

This Mother’s Day, 84% of U.S. adults will be celebrating their moms or another influential mother figure.

How will consumers be spending? What does mom REALLY want? And, what’s driving the increase? The ten facts below explain everything you need to know.

Before marketing moved online, a brand’s voice was constricted to its budget. Its audience, especially for small businesses, was generally in its physical vicinity—either with hyper-localized marketing material like building signs, regional ones like billboards, and maybe national ones like newspapers and TV. 

We are excited to announce that Inspira was awarded Gold in the Electronic Media/Social Media: Instagram category for our work on Diageo’s World Class US platform.

Social media is a crucial component to any experiential marketing campaign’s success. The role that social media plays in brand activation marketing varies. Not only can social media be used to drum up excitement for the experiential marketing campaign, but social tools can also help create a buzz around the brand and could ultimately be used to garner user-generated content (UGC). There are many reasons why an experiential marketing campaign should include a robust social media plan. Here are three social media strategies that effectively support brand activation efforts.
