Establishing an Effective Digital Brand Connection (Full Day)

How to Build Customer Loyalty & Value in the Digital World
(Full Day Workshop)

Many marketers still struggle to connect digitally with customers in ways that clearly and authentically communicate the brand essence – and why your customers should engage with you.

The idea that you can convince customers to engage or purchase simply by telling them to is flawed; today ‘story doing’, showing, and acting on how your business can improve your customer’s life is essential to make a lasting impression.

Too often, brands today talk about who they are, their funding, or technical issues at a level that only an engineer could grasp. Talking this way alienates customers and, consciously or subconsciously, leaves a poor taste in their mouth, further risking losses in revenue and market share for your brand. Marketers need to clarify their brand’s voice, personality, and purpose to tell a story that resonates across all digital touchpoints and helps drive customer value.

Today, with new customer mindsets, social media, content marketing, and technology, the role of your company’s website shifts from a static information repository organized around your company’s needs to an engaging hub providing access and insights. At the same time, you are facilitating relationships with current customers and other relevant stakeholders. The resulting fluidity of content requires a cohesive organizational approach to content creation, distribution, and engagement in the digital space.

In this workshop, we will walk you through the steps to establishing, maintaining, and evolving your company's digital presence with authenticity. You will get clear on your brand’s voice and story and understand how that should impact and drive downstream digital creative. You will learn how to set up the right digital content team and get internal alignment on strategy for maximum effectiveness; how to select the proper tech stack for your customer journey; and how to measure and refine your digital brand messaging to ensure you engage customers in a way that brings meaning to them throughout the customer lifecycle.

*This workshop is suitable for both B2B and B2C audiences. Examples and exercises can be tailored to fit either scenario.
