Welcome to Social Marketing Initiatives! We are a group of researchers studying social marketing, illegal wildlife trade, zoonotic disease transmission and pandemics, consumer behavior and Asian consumerism. We provide quality insights to policy-making and optimally-designed behavior modification strategies to reduce demand for illegal wildlife products and prevent future epidemic and pandemic outbreaks.
Our studies on rhino horn trade and consumption have been incorporated into "Rhino Dollars" (ARTE France), an Award-Winning Documentary at Deauville Film Festival 2019: https://boutique.arte.tv/detail/rhino_dollars BBC podcast https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07bt3bq
