00:00.450 --> 00:06.840
Let's look at case studies to show some real world examples of companies that are making the world a

00:06.840 --> 00:12.750
better place or are actually solving a problem in the world because not all companies technically have

00:12.750 --> 00:15.060
to make the world a better place to be successful.

00:15.060 --> 00:16.140
We know that.

00:16.440 --> 00:24.120
But these are three examples where we're going to go from one that's more of a nonprofit to a for profit

00:24.150 --> 00:29.910
company and show how they are defining themselves with all of these case studies what we're trying to

00:29.910 --> 00:34.950
do is show you real world examples of what we're teaching in this class to tell you and to show that

00:35.190 --> 00:37.130
we're not just telling you nonsense.

00:37.140 --> 00:40.880
This is what people are actually doing to be a successful company.

00:40.890 --> 00:43.170
Part of their digital marketing strategy.

00:43.200 --> 00:45.330
First we have The Real Medicine Foundation.

00:45.330 --> 00:51.900
This is a nonprofit that works around the world solving some of the world's harshest problems actually

00:51.900 --> 00:58.500
did a project with them in college I went over to India went to a small village in the middle of India

00:58.530 --> 00:59.500
believe those.

00:59.670 --> 01:05.250
And we actually built a health center there and we raised money in college.

01:05.250 --> 01:10.740
Really amazing project and that's how I know about them right on their home page page.

01:10.740 --> 01:14.740
They have their vision so this is that Real Medicine Foundation.

01:14.760 --> 01:21.990
Org and they talk about working with local prop populations to discover visionaries and leaders who

01:22.050 --> 01:27.050
are best able to solve the challenges faced in extreme poverty and disasters.

01:27.060 --> 01:33.390
Together we create innovative solutions and strong communities that sustain the human capacity to thrive

01:33.690 --> 01:37.130
turning aid into empowerment and victims into leaders.

01:37.140 --> 01:39.190
So this is kind of their vision.

01:39.360 --> 01:42.470
They don't specifically talk about the problems they are solving.

01:42.480 --> 01:45.310
But if you scroll down you can see all kinds of things.

01:45.390 --> 01:51.390
They have links to if you're interested in checking out they the disaster leave.

01:51.420 --> 01:56.490
They work with different diseases education refugees support malnourishment.

01:56.490 --> 01:57.940
That's what we were working on.

01:58.110 --> 02:00.480
So they have lots of different problems they're solving.

02:00.480 --> 02:04.120
So this is kind of a big overview of what they do.

02:04.260 --> 02:07.650
But I just thought this is a quick and easy example.

02:07.650 --> 02:14.440
Pretty much any nonprofit you go to or go to their website you'll see what problem are they solving.

02:14.460 --> 02:20.900
Let's move a little forward to a for profit company that still has a similar sort of mission.

02:20.940 --> 02:23.000
Tom's Maybe you've heard of them.

02:23.130 --> 02:29.760
They're the company that makes the shoe where their whole thing their whole schtick is that they give

02:29.760 --> 02:33.510
away a pair of shoes for every pair of shoes that are purchased.

02:33.750 --> 02:39.570
And they also have expanded to the same thing with glasses and other products.

02:39.570 --> 02:44.700
So right here on their home page with every product you purchase TOMS will help a person in need.

02:44.820 --> 02:50.110
So with their shoes you're actually paying for them to send shoes to someone in need.

02:50.280 --> 02:53.710
So that's the problem solving a bit.

02:53.790 --> 03:01.140
They started out with that very specific problem of people in poorer countries don't have shoes.

03:01.140 --> 03:08.640
So what do we do we sell shoes and we use we charge a little bit of a higher price but it's for a good

03:08.640 --> 03:11.930
cause because we're actually giving shoes to someone in need.

03:11.970 --> 03:17.130
So that's their problem that they're solving and they show it on their brand their website.

03:17.160 --> 03:22.530
Throughout this whole section of this chorus I think it would be good to check out some of these companies

03:22.770 --> 03:28.020
that I'm showing you just to see sort of their whole brand identity too.

03:28.050 --> 03:30.560
We're going to talk more about that in an upcoming lesson.

03:30.840 --> 03:38.910
Lastly we're moving from a nonprofit to a for profit that has a really good like mission about helping

03:38.910 --> 03:44.970
the world to a company called Chevies which is on a mission to make the world a better place but not

03:44.970 --> 03:52.970
by helping the poor necessarily Chevies makes short shorts for men and women now.

03:52.980 --> 03:58.770
But they start out as a company that made shorter shorts for men specifically swim trunks and then they

03:58.770 --> 04:00.960
expanded to just regular shorts.

04:00.960 --> 04:07.020
Now they're doing tops and everything like that on their home page if you go to chubby shorts dot com

04:07.320 --> 04:12.540
you see their mission statement and it starts with we believe in the weekend we believe that short shorts

04:12.600 --> 04:14.370
is a redundancy.

04:14.460 --> 04:17.870
We believe in swim trunks blah blah blah so you can read this yourself.

04:17.970 --> 04:25.410
But some of the stuff that they believe and we believe in comfort we believe we do not believe in the

04:25.410 --> 04:30.990
top but in some of this is kind of funny but at the end of the day what their mission is and what problem

04:31.140 --> 04:37.220
solving is that people are too serious and short shorts kind of breaks that unfold.

04:37.410 --> 04:39.750
And I actually don't own a pair of chubby myself.

04:39.750 --> 04:41.490
I totally believe in their mission.

04:41.490 --> 04:48.240
Maybe I'll go ahead and buy some right now but I think it's a pretty cool sort of company mission statement

04:48.570 --> 04:55.830
and it's a it's a problem that not everyone sees as a problem but they've stuck with it and people have

04:55.830 --> 05:04.970
really latched onto this idea and it helps come across in all of their digital marketing strategies

05:05.000 --> 05:11.780
their social media pages their graphics the style their voice stuff are going to get into in the next

05:11.780 --> 05:13.690
few lessons and section.

05:13.700 --> 05:16.010
So these were just a few case studies.

05:16.010 --> 05:21.200
If you have any examples of your own with a problem and a solution we would love to check them out so

05:21.200 --> 05:22.400
send them to us.

05:22.640 --> 05:25.930
And I hope you enjoyed this case study and we'll see in the next lesson.
