Advertising campaigns designed to support social causes or the common good are referred to as “goodvertising.” This type of advertising also encompasses public interest campaigns and brand advertisements that encourage positive behavior. Thomas Kolster introduced the concept of goodvertising in his book of the same name to highlight the social role of advertising and its importance in promoting these worthy causes. Classic areas of goodvertising include environmental protection, public health, combating discrimination, road safety, and many others.
