Who am I? National Social Marketing Centre
why? 1. Why should we focus on Social Marketing? National Social Marketing Centre
The bottom line “If we continue to do what we’ve always done, then we will only get what we’ve always got” • Social Marketing is not a panacea or magic bullet, but: • Growing evidence and experience (particularly from countries like Canada, Australia and USA) show that when Social Marketing is applied effectively, and in the appropriate context, it can be a powerful tool for achieving tangible and measurable impact on behaviours. • Currently across England we are missing a trick by failing to fully realise its potential. • Improving the level of understanding and application of Social Marketing is therefore critical if we are to achieve real and measurable impacts on people’s behaviour(s) across a range of different policy and practice agendas.
Recognition of need to change Increasing recognition that traditional communications and ‘message-based’ approaches are only having a very limited impact on people’s actual behaviour
The case for change is clear. Not only do unhealthy behaviours bring personal costs in terms of ill health but they also bring significant and rising costs to the NHS and to society as a whole. The NHS must now deliver by investing in interventions and programmes that provide effective support to help people change their behaviour, in the short term and the longer term. Kicking bad habits

Use of common variables has limited success at grass roots level SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC BEHAVIOURS Extensively applied and considered reasonably effective to determine e.g. usage patterns Usually limited to specific subject. Needs to focus on wider lifestyle issues to use as leverage. Difficult to measure ATTITUDE USING INFLUENCERS Researched, but where has this been applied? SOCIAL NETWORK ANALYSIS Well researched by social scientists, but where has this been applied?
