Description
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Patagonia turned environmental activism into its core brand identity, driving customer loyalty and sales. They break down the 2011 'Don't Buy This Jacket' campaign, the 1% for the Planet pledge, and the 2022 decision to transfer ownership to a trust dedicated to fighting climate change. With $1 billion in annual revenue and a fiercely loyal customer base, Patagonia proves that purpose-driven marketing isn't just a trend—it's a sustainable strategy. Lucas and Luna discuss the risks, the rewards, and what other brands can learn from a company that literally asks you to buy less.
