What is Purpose?
2
Purpose is a social business that builds movements to unlock people’s power to change the world.
We are a global team of strategists, creatives, technologists and organizers.
Together we’re creating a 21st century toolkit for participation and social action driven by movement thinking.
We deploy those tools around the world to create social and business value.

What is a social mission narrative?
7
A social mission narrative is a meta narrative of the social
impact that an organisation aims to make in the world. It
highlights the core problem that the organisation is working
to solve, the values that drive the organisation, and the
unique approach that the organisation takes to solving that
core problem. The social mission narrative should reflect the
voice of the organisation, and should be compelling to a
broad public.
Compelling social mission narratives share three building blocks
