Abstract [en]

Contemporary corporate branding embraces the principles of conscientious brand management, which highlight the engagement of multiple stakeholders in the co-creation of a corporate brand with a transformative purpose. The chapter explores how conscientious corporate brands can be co-created inside-out through values-driven branding. The chapter provides insights about the opportunities and challenges related to establishing a conscientious organization and to implementing values-driven branding. The chapter explains how organizations can commit to internal branding with a conscience and build a conscientious corporate brand inside-out. The chapter introduces a novel categorization of corporate brands based on a conscience, which includes (1) a spiritual corporate brand, (2) a hypocritical corporate brand, (3) a toxic corporate brand, and (4) a destructive corporate brand. The chapter provides an illustrative practical case demonstrating how an organization can make a long-term commitment to building continuously its conscientious brand inside-out by engaging, inspiring, and empowering employees. The chapter calls for the increased efforts by practitioners and researchers that are needed for building conscientious corporate brands, which have the potential to increase the common good and to contribute to a sustainable future.
