Mobilise your leaders to become your best influencers

A shift has occurred from “big brand power” to the “influence of individuals”. Why? Trust of corporations has fallen significantly, and when coupled with advertising overwhelm, the messages that are landing are coming from people, and not faceless brands. It’s less about the “Who” and more about “You”.

So if the representation of a ‘brand’ has extended beyond the corporate marketing machine – to include the individuals that make up that organisation – then the organisation’s underbelly has become exposed through each leader’s individual social media profiles and activity. At best, the way they represent themselves, and your brand, will be helping you — and at worst they are hurting your brand.

So how do you mobilise your leaders with the right message and approach? And how can you extend this ‘reputation management’ exercise in to a powerful leadership and customer advocacy tool?

In this essential presentation for leaders and teams you will learn:

• The power of mobilising stand-out influencers in your industry and beyond, and the perils of ignoring the shift.
• How to humanise your brand with stand out influencers
• Tools and strategies to equip, mobilise and empower stand out influencers
