Video Transcript | Intro

At the heart of every successful organization are its advocates. Advocates come in many forms; customers, employees, fans, and influencers. Advocacy and community is all about building relationships that engage and empower these individuals, enabling you to build a following who will sing your praises to the networks. 

Word of Mouth

Word of mouth recommendations are the most powerful advertising tools in your arsenal. By leveraging advocates for your organization, you can increase brand awareness and customer loyalty, leading to benefits such as increased conversions, positive brand sentiment, and a greater social share of voice within your industry.

It can include an Employee Advocacy Program, a Brand Advocate Program, an Influencer Program, and finally, a Community Engagement Strategy, which may include online or in person events.
