In recent years, a preference for purpose-driven brands, brands that display values and intentions beyond simply making profit, is increasing amongst consumers. However, this growing preference comes along with brands that use purpose as an opportunity for marketing purposes, creating skepticism in consumer’s mind about the authenticity of the brand. As a consquence, purpose-driven brands encounter an intention-behavior gap. Thus, there is a need for brand authenticity in brand development.
