12. The San Diego Zoo came to us with a problem: How do we position ourselves as a world conservation leader and attract new funding?
13. We reframed the challenge: Create a strategy for sustainable growth by identifying new revenue streams to fund conservation and grow the business.
14. Working with key stakeholders across the organization, we started by getting out into the world and building insight into the lives of our visitors .
15. Save endangered animals. Conservation can be a very confusing space . It’s hard to know which views you can trust, and people aren’t sure how to make a difference . Reduce your carbon footprint Go green! Carbon credits don’t do anything. Global warming hasn’t’ been scientifically proven Save endangered animals. Drinking a glass of milk can do more harm to the environment than driving to work. 90% of humanity will be dead in 90 years. ? ? ?
16. Conservation Active Interested and directly involved in animal and habitat conservation. Conservation Aligned Doing things that indirectly help animal and habitat conservation. Conservation Apathetic Don’t care about animals or habitats. People are in different places when it comes to conservation.
17. Lots of people want to do right by the planet but don’t know where to start . And they don’t think of it as conservation. It’s all about the personal bottom line. We need to look out for those without a voice. A good garden is a mark of a good person. God has entrusted us to take care of and beautify his creations. Being green builds social capital. A good parent instills social values in their children. Pets are part of the family. My health is linked to the planet’s health. Conservation is an insider frame. People bring different frames to conservation activities. We need to do what we can for future generations. Nature can help you escape everyday stresses. The natural world is full of surprises that are fun to learn about.

Intro self & Jon On one level, we’re here to share inisghts about finding proprietary whitespace opps for growth by meeting people where they are… It’s an important idea…because as believers in the sustainability cause, we can all sometimes get caught up in the notion that if all the rest of the people out there would just “get it” – if all the consumers would just accept that the world needs us to embrace more sustainable solutions – then our lives would be a lot easier and we could move a lot faster to bring about the change that’s needed if we’re going to survive as a species for the long-term. As marketers, we know that we can’t actually MAKE people “get it” – we need to meet them on their own terms. But as responsible green marketers, we also know that our job is to help bring others along - to educate them over time about their choices, and their impact, so that together we can make a more sustainable world.
On another level, we’re here to share with you a point of view about sustainability not just as an imperative for survival, but an actual driver of growth and creative renewal – for every organization. And to illustrate that idea in action by talking about our work together to develop a sustainable growth strategy for the San Diego Zoo. At Jump we call this idea Natural Reinvention. It’s an approach to achieving sustainable growth that’s firmly grounded in empathy for people and their changing needs – both within organizations and out in the world. It’s a way of keeping a business relevant to customers and stakeholders through ongoing evolution instead of periodic, massive upheavals. And it’s an avenue toward building employee loyalty and a culture that embraces continuous change. Before coming here to Sustainable Brands, Jon and I talked a lot about what we hoped people would take away from our session. And it boils down to just a few things. We want to give you some food for thought that you’ll stew on for a while. We aim to provide you concrete suggestions you can take home and use in the near term. And, most of all, we hope to inspire you all think about how you can apply the principles of Natural Reinvention within your own organizations. Our stretch goal is that, a year from now, when we all come back together, no less than half of you will be eager to report back on your progress at beginning to implement Natural Reinvention within your own organizations.
So, tactically…in the next 30 mins. or so our plan is to talk a bit about: how sustainability can be a growth strategy the importance of meeting people where they are, particularly in this space how Jump and the San Diego Zoo developed a strategy to do just that, and General principles that every organization can apply
