GC Insights: Scientists as Marketers

Iain S. Stewart

Abstract. Motivated by pressing planetary concerns, scientists are  increasingly taking their work into the public arena, but it  remains uncertain whether current science communication  practices are appropriate for tackling complex and contested  societal issues. A fresh perspective emerges from the  business sector, and from the contrasting marketing  paradigms of ‘make and sell’, ‘sense and respond’, and  ‘guide and co‐create’. The newly emergent guide‐and‐co‐ create paradigm – purpose‐driven, interdisciplinary,  participatory, and reflexive – would seem to offer the best  template for science communicators addressing long‐term  geo‐environmental concerns.

Short summary
Current science communication initiatives in universities draws from media and journalism to encourage scientists to be competent communicators of their research in order to show the relevance of scientific knwowledge to societal concerns. An alternative but less popular source of inspiration is from marketing and public relations. Here, science communication is reappraised through the lens of three leading marketing paradigms: 'make and sell', 'sense and respind' and 'guide and co-create'.
