- New ideas introducing core values and ways of thinking about behaviour and social change
- Integration of the latest concepts, research, and frameworks informing behaviour and social change efforts
- New vignettes and short case studies from leading thinkers in the field to illustrate concepts and ideas throughout the text
The authors explore the reasons why social marketing should be an integral component of all social programme design and delivery when looking to achieve social good. They comprehensively explain the nature and application of social marketing; reconceptualising 'value', 'systems thinking', 'the social marketing intervention mix', and 'critical social marketing', in the social context. They then lay out strategy, plans, frameworks and tactics that policymakers, practitioners, students and indeed any social change agents can use to effect change for social good.
