About this event
Pretty much every brand claims to have a ‘Community’ nowadays, but what does that even mean? Social followers? Email sign ups? Subscribers? Event attendees? Influencers?

In this session he’ll cover:
– So what are we actually talking about when we say ‘Community’?
– How to build a community strategy and implement it.
– How to drive community engagement.
– The importance of effective community management.
– How to measure community performance.
