I’m an independent Graphic designer that got my start in both design and marketing. I know first-hand, and all too well how gross and manipulative unethical marketing practices can be. As someone that values integrity, transparency, and honesty in everything I do I value the commitment to ethical marketing practices and believe in providing my design clients transparency across the board in all my marketing efforts, design processes, and business practices.

When you work directly with people, it’s your job to put them first. I don’t believe coaching should focus on sales. I believe coaching should focus on people. Period.

I’m taking this pledge because I believe in honest marketing. I believe that “selling” is a matter of informing, not pushing. That I can do what I can to make purchasing stress-free & transparent.

As a Mental Health advocate, I believe Mental Health and coaching businesses should market and sell in ways that promote (rather than undermine) people’s mental health. I am taking the pledge so that people can trust that my business is a safe space and that I am taking pragmatic steps to welcome feedback and be held to ethical standards of business.

I am making the ethical move because, working in copywriting and content marketing, I cannot stand any longer the manipulative tactics used to make more sales with no regards to the needs and wants of the consumers. And I strongly believe that the only way to change this situation is to work together.

I’m a marketing consultant. I work in a world where it’s all about perception rather than reality. I see so many small business owners enslave themselves in pursuit of more likes, shares and comments, and then feeling like failures because this approach isn’t working for them. There has to be a better way – I work with small businesses to show them how to find customers in an ethical way without having to sell their souls in the process. To be ourselves, and let the truth shine through.

I am making the ethical move because I believe as someone who works in marketing and comms, we have a responsibility to use our work for good, and to operate with transparency and honesty at the core of what we do.
