Values recap• Values are our driving forces, our deepest
motivations• We all have all values to some extent…
… but intrinsic values drive concern & action on social and environmental issues• Intrinsic values can be activated and strengthened
over time• We want to appeal to intrinsic values and avoid
appealing to extrinsic or security values.
Framing:

Intrinsic vs extrinsic valuesSocial psychology research from 1970s onwards
• Blood donations, child care, lawyers, school fundraising…
• Reusable coffee mugs
“Less trash, more cash”
“For the love of nature”
or
A different approach
• Intrinsic values can be more powerful than extrinsic - e.g. blood donations, reusable cups etc
• Appealing to intrinsic values is effective, even for extrinsically-oriented people
- no need to ‘match’ people’s values
• Mixed messages (intrinsic + extrinsic) are ineffective

Brand communication “isn’t marketing at all but sharing our core values with our customers.”
“For Patagonia, whose values were identified at the moment of creation, the work is to simply name those values and then relentlessly communicate them through great stories.”
