Abstract

The ethical economy framework values customer co-production, promoting an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable business model. It emphasizes transparency, authenticity, and shared responsibility, engaging customers as partners in shaping ethical practices. This paper explores the role of User Experience (UX) design, servicescapes, influencer marketing, and social media in promoting ethical branding. Using Rural Radicals, a cultural startup, as a case study, it highlights gratitude’s role in cause-related marketing and its impact on consumer behavior. The discussion centers on authenticity, ethical tourism, Community-Based Social Marketing (CBSM) in digital marketing, offering strategies for meaningful connections, value co-creation, and ethical collaboration. Practical recommendations for enhancing ethical branding and fostering emotional connections with audiences are provided.
