5. Innovation in theory, methods and measuring impact
20 Minute Oral Presentation
What counts as social marketing impact before interventions are delivered? This session shares lessons from Year One of a large Indigenous-led Australian Research Council grant, with a focus on governance, co-design, and evaluation innovation. Attendees will learn how theory, methods, and measurement can be staged across multi-year projects, and why early-stage work is critical to ethical, effective behaviour change in complex social systems.
