Greek Crisis: How Social Marketing Can Help

February 18, 2013 827

Editor’s note: We are pleased to welcome Dr. Periklis Polyzoidis of the Democritus University of Thrace in Komotini, Greece, whose article “Social Marketing in Greece: Time to Wake Up!was published in the Social Marketing Quarterly March 2013 issue.

Greece is facing an enormous economic and social crisis. The expansion of social problems has made the use of social marketing imperative. The fact that, with very few exceptions, the term social marketing has not been adopted by the home_coverGreek scientific community was very  disappointing.

On a practical level, social marketing has a presence in Greece but has not developed to its full capacity. It seems that there are many possibilities for the further development of social marketing in Greece. Some scientists and practitioners believe that it will blossom very soon – we hope that they are right.
