Relevance International, which specializes in the real estate, hospitality, corporate and luxury goods sectors, has launched the Purpose Method, which aims to ensure that brands’ unique values are embedded in their cause-related partnerships and initiatives. The Purpose Method begins with the proprietary Purpose Finder, a tool developed by agency CEO and founder Suzanne Rosnowski, that leverages artificial intelligence to deduce the best cause to partner with for an impactful brand alliance. The second phase involves a team of CSR strategists who impart experience and creativity to develop unique programs, creating ways to embed purpose work in the business. “Now more than ever brands are reassessing their business’ alignment with their personal core values” said Rosnowski. “Companies willing to go deeper into brand evolution will come out ahead as it makes for better workplace satisfaction, enhances customer loyalty and improves lives.”
