‘do-gooder is a pejorative term.
It is not cool to do good’
Try a solution:
‘rebrand good.
give good teeth and cultural appeal’

45. Circulation / audience / community
Identify the problem:
‘direct mail is off brand.
we cannot afford $42 per subscriber’
Try a solution:
‘choose 12 of our favorite non-profits;
give 100% of $20 subscription fee’

46. Community
Identify the problem:
‘Choose Good Campaign is not catching on’
Try a solution:
‘host events in target cities
and offer free drinks for subscribers’
= 50k subscribers, built real community, embodied mission
raised $1 million, saved over $1 million

Transparency
(do people/media/employees love you more when they know more)
-
Creativity (solving problems in original and practical ways)
-
Utility(business results and social impact)
-
Love (is your team putting heart into it? do you love it?)

64. - Understand the needs and use cases of your community.
- Be a part of your community authentically.
- Make the communityʼs success your success, your focus.
- Design to enable trust, let people share your story & champion your success.
- The community is the brand. The brand is the community, a living thing.
