Moving the Needle: Social Marketing in Energy & Environment
To deliver real impact, we often need to change perceptions, create relevance, build receptivity and ultimately reduce barriers and provide valued benefits to sustainable behavior change. Social marketing provides a road map to success.
Social Marketing is a distinct marketing discipline, focused on behavior change for social good — ones that will improve health, prevent injuries, protect the environment, contribute to communities and enhance financial wellbeing. Fundamental principles at the core of this practice have been used to help reduce tobacco use, decrease infant mortality, stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, make wearing bike helmets a social norm, and decrease littering.
Join us on August 17 for a discussion with globally recognized social marketing expert Nancy R. Lee, President of Social Marketing Services, Inc., and special consultant to C+C. Nancy has served as a leading consultant on hundreds of seminal social marketing campaigns, conducted social marketing workshops around the world, has authored a dozen books on the topic, and is a Teaching Associate at the University of Washington.

Aisha Francis, Ph.D., was recently named the President and CEO of Benjamin Franklin Institute of Technology after initially serving as Chief of Staff.

Dr. Goger’s work has been prominently featured in CNN, NPR, Washington Monthly, the Hill, and a number of local outlets and podcasts.

Her vision is to build an education and training ecosystem with multiple paths to a quality job that is designed around the needs of a diverse set of learners, workers, and employers. Dr. Goger has outlined state policy frameworks to scale earn-and-learn opportunities such as apprenticeship and other forms of employer-based training.
Dr. Goger’s current research focuses on digital transformation in labor and education data systems, the employer role in talent development, state credentialing policies that recognize diverse forms of learning, and closing the opportunity gap for displaced hospitality workers and returning citizens. She is a member of the Better Employment and Training Strategies task force, a coalition of more than 40 workforce experts and practitioners that focuses on modernizing America’s outdated and inequitable workforce policies.
Before coming to Brookings, Dr. Goger spent more than 10 years conducting field research to evaluate American workforce development and food security programs at Social Policy Research Associates and IMPAQ International. Her doctoral research focused on the links between global supply chains, ethical trade initiatives, production processes, and inclusive growth.
