Katrina Fox Masterclass
The 5P Strategies that Every Purpose-Led Business Needs to Know About to Be a Category Leader
with Bob Ratnarajah
Purpose-led businesses and vegan business founders usually find it easy to demonstrate their purpose to a small audience. Vegans love vegan businesses and support them. But commercially, to grow and be a category leader, a vegan business needs to attract many more non-vegans.
Measuring a business’s Purpose, People and Planet strategies as well as Profit will help the brand stand out in the marketplace.
But these are more than just fluffy marketing terms. Instead they offer new models for ethical businesses to explore, such as becoming a shared-value company, BCorp or social enterprise.
In this Q&A masterclass, Katrina Fox interviews plant-based business advisor Bob Ratnarajah from Purpose with Profit.
Bob discusses:
- The traditional pillars of business and why they’re not enough to make a social impact
- The need for compromise, even if it’s uncomfortable
- What drives (and hinders) most small businesses
- Understanding (and shifting) your identity as a business owner in order to scale
- And more
We end with a live Q&A
