What are your dreams and aspirations?  Research has revealed that our common human aspirations are now being threatened by anxieties and systemic barriers which in turn are negatively affecting employee and consumer priorities and transforming their expectations of and relationships with brands.

Whether it's pollution, extreme poverty, income inequality, corruption, human right abuses or the ever increasing impacts of climate change - people are making the connection between corporate actions, the quality of their lives and the success of their communities - providing new challenges and opportunities for brand leadership.

Last year net trust in organisations to act in the best interest of society was negative. And while two-thirds (65%) of consumers want to support companies with a strong purpose, less than half (45%) can name a single company that makes "a positive difference in society through its products services and operations."

As consumers try to meet their own needs and hopes for the world around them, they are feeling less empowered to influence corporate behavior and more challenged in making their aspirations a reality. According to GlobeScan, for the first time since 2009, more consumers say they have punished businesses for their behavior (28%) rather than rewarded them (26%), and the number of those who are punishing brands is up by 9% since 2013.

So how can your brand lead in the context of these dynamic tensions to connect more deeply and authentically to student and employee needs and desires? How might understanding their anxieties and aspirations unlock more meaningful relationships, loyalty and participation?

And if your brand is already taking a stand and showing leadership be it through carbon neutrality, certification programs, investing in your community etc - are you reaping adequate rewards for your efforts?
