This document provides an overview and analysis of Havas' 2023 Meaningful Brands report. It finds that brands are not meeting rising consumer expectations in the current environment of crises and challenges. A new "Me-conomy" has emerged where consumers want brands to deliver personal well-being benefits and help them feel in control. The report identifies top performing brands in India and globally that are adapting to these changing needs, such as focusing on personal expression, health, optimism and simplifying consumers' lives. It shows that meaningful brands which excel in these areas significantly outperform peers on key metrics like purchase intent, advocacy and financial growth.

and feel more
As people's expectations of brands expand, it’s time to expand
what benefits brands can bring to people’s lives as inspiration for
new behaviours and ideas.
As this continues, brands can play a larger role, especially in brand
content and activations, as advisors, gurus and more.

49. As purpose turns inward, sometimes a worthy cause is simply being great - removing barriers from consumer lives. Helping people save
time,or making life easy.
Or simply removing the “computer- says-no” attitude. This is coupled with a wider focus on consolidation of consumer habits, whether
that’s brands, retailers or banking.

51. The role of a brand when it comes to purpose is increasingly not to be the celebrity or
the saviour, but the facilitator.
6 out of 10
People according to Havas’ Meaningful Brands™ are being the change they
want to see in the world
As purpose turns inward, or becomes more personal, more
consumers want to be part of the activism –
not on the sidelines.
And they want brands to support them, platform them, and
involve them. Elsewhere, generally, brands are thinking
outside the box when it comes to helping causes - instead of
donating money, donating skills, media, exposure, and
expertise.

52. Transparency continues to be a priority – especially about claims. Amid this,
brands are taking a new approach where purpose driven activities are
positioned with honesty, humility and humour.
New purpose messaging from brands has an increasing sense of levity
in line with what we see with Meaningful Brands’ data.
People expect purpose driven behaviors from brands but are
increasingly cynical and also see this - sustainable goals, ethical
behavior - as just how a 21st century brand should operate. Innovative
brands are speaking about purpose with a humble
or humorous tone of voice.”
