Description

Social marketing which has been defined by its mission of behavior for the past 50 years is extending its experience, evidence, and ideas. According to a 2013 consensus definition from the International Social Marketing Association, the European Social Marketing Association, and the Australian Association of Social Marketing. "Social Marketing to develop and integrate marketing concepts with other approaches to influence behavior that benefits individuals and communities for the greater social good”. Its goal is to bring together research, best practices, theory, and practical implementations, as well as audience and partnership intelligence, to inform the execution of competitively sensitive and segmented. Social change programs that is effective, efficient, equitable, and long-lasting. Understanding of work place social, cultural, behavioral, and structural dynamics to affect consumer and production decisions. This is not a "one size fits all" behavioral change initiative or campaign for the entire population. Current social marketing themes include adjusting to climate change, conserving our oceans, living in green cities, and guaranteeing healthy soils for healthy food. social marketing trends include:

(1) In a systems setting, social marketing and behavior change.

(2) Wide societal stakeholder engagement.

(3) Digital technologies are used for more than communication and promotion.

In a systems setting, social marketing and behavioral change

Three more guiding principles to our understanding and implementation of behavior change are added by social marketing for systems-wide and transformative behavior change.

1. Uses a dynamic system thinking approach towards a problem (philosophical position).

2. It is a multimethod (methodological position).

3. It acknowledges multilevel of and places for disruption (action position).

In practice, present this new way of understanding dynamics and interrelationships with the ocean and humanizing environmental crises. Within a problem system, the presence of various subpopulations and stakeholders with differing values demonstrates that the best way to adopt evidence-based methods is through targeted value-based exchanges for long-term transformation. Through a meta-analysis of priorities and actions for sustainable ocean policy, the study also highlights the value of a highly engaged collective intelligence process. The findings emphasize the most important themes and actions from expert stakeholder and citizen dialogues, providing crucial information for policy and decision-making. One way for uncovering the circular causation and interdependent processes observable is the soft systems dynamics behavioral changed described. The value is in building capacity to understand the current and future synergies and inter linkages between climate change, ocean health and human health and well-being.

Wider societal stakeholder engagement

Citizens, consumers, and communities are no longer separate or independent entities in individual or collective change processes, according to studies. Instead, they are collaborative, coordinated, and interconnected stakeholders with a shared change objective. Giving voice and space to a diverse range of stakeholders, including those active in local politics, regulation media, community organizations, NGOs, social businesses, commercial operations, and environmental activism, is another essential aspect in behavior change. This is a 'whole-systems-in-the-room' shift that emphasizes top-down, bottom-up connections as well as the cocreation of shared and interwoven values among all stakeholders in a localized environment. It brings together stakeholders at the top-down/bottom-up, micro.

Using digital technologies beyond communication and promotion

As social marketing observes the acceleration and normalization of digital technology for behavior modification, research is also progressing. Shawky's systematic literature review of the use of interactive social media and engagement in various social marketing programs using interactive social media platforms reveals that the scale of digital technologies' integration in social marketing is clearly expanding beyond communication and promotions.

Studies by Andrade et al., Ullman et al., and Shah et al. highlight the use of digital technology in social marketing for research, segmentation, and targeting. Other researches have created behavioral change apps, goods services, as well as utilizing digital technology.
