  • Conflict
  • Resolution

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

I love the 4ocean brand. 

 

Their audience is people who are concerned about the overabundance of plastic in our oceans and the consequent negative effects it has on ocean wildlife and people who visit/recreate in the ocean. 

 

4ocean helps their audience feel empowered in the face of this daunting challenge by purchasing a bracelet (or other jewelry) - the proceeds of which pay for cleaning 1 lb of plastic from the ocean.

One brand that sticks out in my mind is Microsoft. They target a wide range of audiences, from business professionals to families. A challenge that they are helping the audience overcome is the ability to communicate and connect virtually through Microsoft Teams. They do an excellent job of showing how effective this tool is in a business sense by using real users who have shared how Microsoft Teams has improved their ability to network.
