Corporate Social Advocacy: 
Purpose-Driven Marketing for Authentic Brands

At Breakfast Culture, we believe brands thrive when they embody their authentic selves — not just in their marketing campaigns but across every aspect of their operations. Corporate Social Advocacy, or what we like to call “Woke Marketing,” goes beyond the superficial. It’s about aligning with your core values and demonstrating them consistently—every day, everywhere, and in every way.

 

Being “woke” in the true sense of the term, as derived from African American Vernacular English (AAVE), means maintaining awareness and commitment to social justice (Legal Defence Fund: How "WOKE" went from Black to bad).
For brands, this translates into authenticity, accountability, and action. It’s not a one-month-a-year effort, nor is it a series of opportunistic campaigns. It’s about being:

​

• Authentic: Living your values throughout your supply chain, hiring practices, and internal culture.

• Prepared: Anticipating challenges and addressing them with integrity.

• Present: Engaging meaningfully with stakeholders, customers, and communities.
