Social Change Marketing
Social change is about changing attitudes and influencing behaviours. It’s rooted in a deep understanding of what motivates people, and what they need to achieve and sustain change for themselves. Change comes from the inside — but it’s influenced from the outside.

We begin by identifying barriers preventing actions, then engage people using strategies that both educate and inspire. We give people, companies and non-profits the tools they need to begin and sustain change, ensuring that momentum remains — and change endures. [...]
Soundtracks for Social Change: Can you hear Jimmy?
As the world tried to keep up with the speed of COVID, we all witnessed social change happen. As communicators, Argyle’s Social Change team watched through a slightly different lens. We saw the muscles of social marketing flexed like no other time in history — the total weight of every delivery channel constantly reminding us to mask, distance, work from home and vaccinate. Then a Spotify playlist called "Sounds of the Pandemic" caught my attention. It was another tool or outlet to facilitate change, but with a different energy. Watching the change happen was easy, but could we hear [...]

Our clients aren’t salacious enough to keep Don Draper entertained for more than one Old Fashioned.

We love what we do.

What I Learned at World Social Marketing Conference
This past week, Jill and I attended World Social Marketing Conference 2017. I was just as excited to present ChangeMakers’ work on SAFE Work Manitoba as I was to learn from the global social marketing community. I wasn’t disappointed on either front. Here are just a few things I learned at #WSMC17 and that I’ll be thinking about as I work with the rest of the ChangeMakers team to create sustainable behaviour change for our clients.

From crisis management to public relations, trauma-informed communication ensures empathy and clarity during Canadian Victims and Survivors of Crime Week and beyond
While most communicators are not equipped to 'treat' trauma, we have a responsibility to minimize the risk of causing further harm and re‑traumatization through all communication touchpoints—especially during periods of crisis or change. Whether it’s public disclosures of a corporate leader’s misconduct, a community speech in the aftermath of a major natural disaster or mass casualty, or internal communications relating to a near-fatal workplace injury—communications that are both trauma-informed while clear and effective cannot be understated.
