Socially Speaking Episode 14: The Black Lives Matter movement and brand activism (Pt 1)

Calgary-based communicator and public relations professional Eric Peters.Awareness of social movements and issues like Black Lives Matter, Pride, and climate change is more prominent than ever before. As these movements transform our world, many brands and organizations are wondering how they can engage meaningfully. Or perhaps if they can engage at all.

Scott had the opportunity to discuss brand engagement in the Black Lives Matter movement and the realities of brand activism in 2020 with Calgary-based communicator and public relations professional Eric Peters.

This was a big conversation. So we’re breaking it into four parts that we will post over the next two weeks. Check out Part 1 below:
