FRAMING ISSUES FOR UPSTREAM SOCIAL MARKETING:THE ESSENTIAL ROLES OF COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY, STORYTELLING, CITIZENS AND MIDSTREAM PARTNERS
It is hard to engage in upstream SM when an issue is framed as an “individual” responsibilityWe need to (re)frame it around shared/collective responsibilityE.g.: Early childhood development = parental/individual + it takes a village (midstream) + societal/collective responsibility
DISCUSSION STARTERS: FRANÇOIS LAGARDELucie and André Chagnon Foundation (Canada)24th Social Marketing Conference Building on the Legacy: Forging New PathsClearwater Beach (FL), June 18, 2016
Storytelling, citizens (those directly affected)
and midstream partners (those who help
people cope) are best qualified to talk about shared and collective responsibility (have the most credibility)
1) to provide downstream support (it takes more than willpower)2) to address root causes (upstream, prevention) See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQW3NaWkdfU
