    DescriptionDr Abas Mirzaei, a senior lecturer at Macquarie Business School, has been studying ‘woke’ (awake to important social issues, discrimination and injustice) marketing campaigns for the past two years says: “If brands genuinely care, they need to respond relative to their power. Claiming and offering support without demonstrating effective change in behaviour is toxic for brands.”
