SUMA/Orchard Social Marketing is a partnership between two social marketing firms formed in 2002. They have conducted social marketing campaigns on a wide range of topics from adolescent health to vaccines. Social marketing is a process aimed at promoting behavior change through research-driven campaigns. It differs from traditional advertising in its focus on behavior change, consumer research, and holistic approaches. Effective social marketing campaigns are built on formative research with target audiences to inform all aspects of campaign development.
