SUMMARY
“SmallBiz-washing” (yes, it’s a thing).
Like “Greenwashing” deceives consumers that a firm’s products help green the planet, Smallbiz-washing campaigns are designed to bolster a firm’s reputation, without making any real difference to small-business owners.
During COVID, brands spent millions on small business marketing but 40% of Thai small businesses were still at risk of closure.
Since survival of these food vendors, bakeries, and shops were critical to Grab’s own prosperity, we went beyond usual surveys and listened to real SME heartaches to understand precisely what support they really needed.
