It is of paramount importance that a company understands its brand and how that brand will be expressed and received by its audience in the social space.
A brand is created, nurtured and grown in the space that exists between a company and its customers. Today, that space is an open opportunity for direct connection, engagement, conversation and creativity. Customers expect it and companies are able to build it. And companies that work to develop their brand with their stakeholders – internal and external – in the social space can build organizational strength.
Each action you take, each message you share builds your brand and the personality your customers will identify with. Make sure you understand and adhere to your company’s brand values so you have the confidence to develop human, useful and creative interactions with your audience.
Develop a modular approach to get your company going in the social space, in that place where your brand exists, the space between your company and your customers. Fill those modules, not with drivel that wedges your way into a conversation but with strategies to help you achieve your business goals. Fill it with thoughtful and, yes, fun messaging that comes from the heart of your brand. Be there for people and build a positive brand experience for them.
People act when they connect socially with a company. They buy. They recommend. They advocate. That’s your opportunity to build your brand.
Today, with the social web experience, the creative opportunities to do that are endless.
