About this event

The reality of today is that modern marketers are investing more in paid channels with less return. To alleviate this pressure, many are looking for organic growth—the holy grail of channels that comes with high levels of trust, reduces acquisition costs and allows for exponential scaling. This need has led to the newly formed practice of brand advocacy, where passionate customers and fans help amplify a brand’s reputation and voice, ultimately leading to brand growth.

In this session we will cover:
● The shift in the marketing world today
● Aligning advocacy with business objectives
● Segmenting customers based on passion & brand love
● Rewarding customers for engaging with your brand
● Measuring the value of an advocate
