Description
Are you a small business trying to drive consumers to know about you and choose you? Diversify your marketing mix by leaning on real people like your customers or your local community of content creators to experience your offer and share it on social media. 92% of consumers trust friends and family over any other form of advertising which means getting intentional about leveraging word of mouth marketing can pay off big time.
Join this presentation to learn what it means to work with hyper-local content creators and your very own customers to create buzz on social media. Emily will show you successful campaigns brands like Hy-Vee, WeWash, Lola's Fine Hot Sauce, and more have created at Hummingbirds to create the local behavior they desire. You'll leave with endless ideas on how to ramp up user-generated content, find people excited to hype you to their own network, and what it means to create meaningful brand partnerships with real people.
