What is the Role of Marketing in Society?

The role of marketing in society is to:

  • Provide Goods and Services – The essence of a market involves the exchange of value in the form of goods, services, and information. Marketing makes people aware of those goods and services – whether those goods are a basic need or a personal want. 
  • Public Service Announcements – A critical role of marketing is to disseminate important information to the public. PSAs are generally disseminated by the Government or designated Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). 
  • Non-Profits – Non-profits exist for the public good. As such, making individuals aware of that public good is essential to the non-profit mission.
