The “collective effervescence”-wellbeing connection

Who else has been relishing the freedom to gather with family and friends?

To me, it feels at once novel and normal to do so. I want to make up for lost time and to get my fill of in-person social connection now because it’s anyone’s guess if or when the freedom to do so may be rescinded.

I know I’m not alone. The feeling we get when we “pursue happiness socially — through connecting, caring and contributing” is part of “collective effervescence.”

In this edition of MarketWell, we dive into the concept of collective effervescence and its strong connection to wellbeing. And with the pursuit of wellbeing only continuing to rise, we look ahead to the implications for us marketers seeking to distinguish our brands among the cacophony of wellbeing messages.

There’s a Specific Kind of Joy We’ve Been Missing

Adam Grant from the New York Times has done it again. We were recently inspired by his widely shared piece on Languishing and at the risk of looking like Adam Grant groupies, we’re sharing another because he has a way of putting his finger on the pulse of what we as a society are feeling and experiencing. Plus, this story, too, contains a great lesson for us as marketers. 

The takeaway: As the world starts to open up, consumers are seeking opportunities to experience collective effervescence. Create experiences that bring people together and you’ll have a place in your consumers’ memories and hearts.
