Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,7, University of Bayreuth, course: Global Consulting Programm, language: English, abstract: As the online world becomes louder and more crowded, it's increasingly important to practice authenticity in marketing. Beyond products and services, audiences want to connect on a deeper level with the brands they love. Today's consumers also look for brands that embody values similar to their own. They prefer to support companies they identify with on a greater level than simply purchasing a product they like. Especially younger generations (millennials and Gen Z in particular) are often associated with the practice of buying what a brand values, rather than a specific product. Consumers expect brands to be authentic by sharing their desire to make the world a better place to live, work and do business.
