We believe businesses should be responsible and should be leaders within communities. We believe that we should be role models for the next generation and do what we can within communities, the planet and people.

I am taking the pledge because present day marketing is disempowering to relationship building. I would like to support the shift to clear advertising.

I am making the ethical move as ethics and sustainability are central to my beliefs and I am passionate about creating a world where everyone is valued and respected for who they are and where we all consider our own impact and responsibility to act as guardians to our beautiful planet. I admit that I’ve made many mistakes in the past following unethical marketers’ manipulation tactics and strategies to market my services. I’ve also fallen for manipulation tactics by these marketers. I’ve learnt my lessons and I’m now committed to making sure that I’m marketing my business ethically in recent years and continue to educate myself as I know I still have a lot to learn!

I’m making the ethical move because it reflects my values and way of work. I’d like to provide reassurance to those I collaborate with and inspire others to follow suit.

I am taking the pledge because I agree that marketing has become toxic and disempowering, and I would like to be an example to help shift to healthier and more transparent advertising.

I’m making the ethical move because my brand is built on helping entrepreneurs and advocates create a movement for what they believe in, and I can’t do that unless I run my community with my core values in mind. I’m tired of the false persuasion for a quick buck, and I believe in transparency. I want my branding and marketing to reflect these.

I’ve always said that the job I would never want was that of a marketer. Finding the weaknesses of people and exploiting them has never sat right with me. The people element of being in indie retail is part of why I’m doing what I’m doing… organic discoveries that lead to sales are fine… but I won’t let any third party “assist” me in my business venture.

I am making an ethical move because my entire business mission is to smash the patriarchy through operations, and signing this pledge helps me align myself with business owners who have similar values.

I want to market my business and help others to market theirs in a way that treats our audience like people & sees value in everyone in our audience (regardless of whether or not they ever buy from or hire us).
