Richard Millington - Community strategy

Master the strategies you need to build a highly engaged community

As people crave deeper connection in today’s digital world, communities are more important than ever. A brand community has become a powerful tool for strengthening your organization and creating highly engaged brand advocates. But most marketers skip the most important step — the strategy.

This course will help you develop a successful community strategy, from scratch, using the best practices from today’s leading communities. Get the resources you need to launch, quickly reach a critical mass of activity, and scale your community to its full potential.

Don’t just wait and hope members will show up

Most community efforts flop because they fail to understand what truly hooks members and keeps them engaged. The “build it and they’ll come” approach might work for your local park. But it isn’t enough to build a thriving brand community.

This course will help you overcome that challenge by teaching you the step by step process of developing a magnetic community strategy. From audience research to building detailed member personas, and selecting the right platform for your audience.

Avoid costly mistakes of launching a community without a strategy, and set the foundations for sustainable growth.
