What is Community Marketing?
Community marketing strategies focus on building relationships and engaging with local communities.
Why is it important?
In today's marketing landscape where Gen Z and Millennial consumers are demanding more from brands, the power of community is an invaluable asset. Marketing is not just about selling products or services, it's about building relationships, connecting and supporting communities to create a sense of belonging. Take the new ‘Broadcast channel’ feature on IG, this shows that connecting with your community is more than a trend and in fact the ultimate currency. Brands that tap into the power of community are reaping the benefits, here’s why:

Community marketing fosters authentic connections, boosting emotional ties & loyalty
- UGC:
Communities create a steady stream of user-generated content, perfect to use cross-channel & build a content bank
- Feedback:
Engaged communities provide invaluable insights & feedback for innovation & competitive edge
