Based on the concept of Social Marketing, a type of marketing developed in the 1970’s, we focus on using evidence-based marketing principles to bring about social good rather than only commercial profit. Our team members have worked on some of the largest non-profit, government, and for-profit campaigns and legislative efforts in the state of Hawaii.

In working with clients, we focus on creating measurable outcomes that are based on sound research and are meaningful markers of success. Our marketing strategy is designed to reduce barriers and enhance the benefits associated with your product or the desired behavior. This carries into our advocacy and legislative work, which aims to create win-win-win policy changes with meaningful impact and measurable effects.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536032088512{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][maxtitle type=”5″ heading=”1″ maxtitle_content=”Our Team“][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1536038908641{border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 2px !important;border-left-width: 2px !important;border-radius: 2px !important;}”][vc_hoverbox image=”9767″ primary_title=”” primary_align=”justify” hover_title=””]The head of SM Hawaii is Pedro Haro.
