The use of Social Problems as Axes of Advertising Communication: Trend or Essence in human brands?

Every day society demands social commitments from brands, and they are the ones who must respond to these demands from a conscious responsibility and a firm position in the face of the problems that are evident day by day: social, political, economic, environmental, among others. . But it is not just about strategically managing an advertising message that responds to these problems, but about being consistent with the essence of the organization. Brands must focus on finding solutions instead of selling passions or image; they must be tangible and act fast, not trying to impress or be conceptual. Brands that act in favor of society in general will reinforce their experience, leadership and trust (Edelman, 2020) The project is relevant insofar as it responds to the opportunity to theoretically deepen a topic that is currently preferred within brands but that lacks reflection and analysis.
