4 Ways Brands Can Support Consumers & Their Mental Wellness

Over the past few years, more and more people have bravely opened up on the topic of mental health, making it part of everyday conversations and erasing any taboo associations. This shift in focus has thrust personal wellness into the spotlight like never before. So, how should brands respond to this changing landscape of mental and emotional awareness? 


Our observations tell us that given the uncertainty our world has experienced these past two years, almost all brands have an opportunity to help – or at minimum to communicate – with people on a more personal level. With one caveat: outreach should always be authentic, or people will cry ‘gimmick’ faster than you can say ‘mindfulness’. 


With years of experience in both the health care and wellness categories, we strive to help the brands we represent deliver useful, actionable messaging at the most personal level possible. And when the integrity of a brand’s mission is pure, the responses and results will follow.

Here are 4 suggestions for how we believe a brand can most effectively speak with consumers in this new, more open atmosphere: 



1

Be Honest

Transparency among brands trying to be helpful is a must. 


2

Be Empathetic

Show people you understand, and care about their concerns.

3

Be Purposeful

A clear commitment to a cause that aligns with a brand’s DNA demonstrates authenticity.


4

Be Supportive

True encouragement goes a long way with people, and can capture loyalty in the long run.


What would you add to this list? As always, we welcome your feedback, and would love to hear from you. Our leadership team is always easy to reach and eager to discuss any of your current or future marketing needs.
