Brands on a Mission seeks to change the world, one brand and one public health issue at a time. Founded by Professor Myriam Sidibe, one of the world's leading experts of brands that drive health outcomes through mass behavioural change, Brands on a Mission helps brands accelerate their impact in global health and well-being. Its mission is to develop transformative business models that improve the lives of 100 million people sustainably and catalyse an additional $1 billion towards achieving the SDGs by 2030. While there are many brand purpose agencies that help brands define their purpose, very few help brands meaningfully and sustainably deploy their purpose as purpose is much easier said than done. Brands on a Mission uses its signature brand purpose deployment framework, the Purpose Tree, to bring purpose to life with benefits to the business, people and the planet.
