NYF and purpose agency, StrawberryFrog, have launched a new series, Purpose Haze, to de-fog purpose. In the new series host, StrawberryFrog founder and chief executive officer, Scott Goodson, talks with leaders at the forefront of purpose-driven companies.
The first episode features Ramon Soto, SVP, chief marketing and communications officer at Northwell Health, the largest and most highly regarded healthcare provider system in New York. They examine purpose within the health & wellness marketing world, how Northwell activates purpose, and creates value for their clients, connecting with consumers about issues that affect them, and how purpose-driven marketing allows Northwell to successfully expand market share.
