Description

Just Marketing® reflects a commitment to justice through marketing that is ethical, inclusive, accessible, and (of course) profitable. 

Marketing has long relied on manipulation, exploitation, and tactics designed to pressure consumers - roots that persist in many of today's marketing strategies. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We don't have to compromise our values to promote our businesses.

Online marketing authority and former Facebook employee Meg Brunson combines her mission to build a more accessible and inclusive world, with her expertise in the digital marketing space.


Meg is on a mission to disrupt the marketing status quo so that financial success is the byproduct of a genuine commitment to justice, rather than an end goal in itself.  


Through Meg’s signature approach, Just Marketing®, businesses are implementing ethical, inclusive, and accessible marketing campaigns that make a positive impact on society and their bottom line, creating a virtuous cycle where profitability and responsible practices reinforce each other.


Whether you're an entrepreneur, small business owner, or mission-driven marketer... Join us as we unpack the problems in traditional marketing, spotlight ethical alternatives, and show how marketing can be a force for good.
