Explore the intricate relationship between brands, culture, and politics with the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: Brands and Politics.
Edelman’s report explains how the line between brands and the society they operate in has dissolved, with consumers now expressing their political views through brand choices. As a result, brands are increasingly exposed to political pressure and must be prepared to navigate these challenges.
The report emphasizes that brands can't avoid politics: 71% of respondents believe that when a brand faces pressure to take a side on a controversial issue, it must do so. Additionally, consumers who trust a brand are more likely to stay loyal and forgive mistakes, making trust a crucial factor for brand success.
