Going or about to go through a branding process? Here's a collection of advice that Jennifer Petersen and I put together to answer these questions: 🤔 What do you do when your name no longer represents your mission or community? 💅 Should our organization fully rebrand or refresh? 🤝 Should branding be centralized and controlled or distributed and shared? 📈 What kind of results can we expect from branding? ⏰ Is it time to update our brand? Guidance connects to insights from current and recent Big Duck clients including: John Jay College Institute for Justice and Opportunity, Camp Havaya, National Council of Nonprofits, RefugePoint, Ipas, Shriver Center on Poverty Law, Community Change, Chinese-American Planning Council, and Blue Engine. https://lnkd.in/euAkKVJf

Happy Bridgerton day to all who celebrate 🔥👑 Something we can learn from Bridgerton? Yes, I’m going to go there. Community. Since the show took to our screens in 2020, it created a phenomenon. But a lot of its success can be associated with their engaged community. Community building is a very underrated tool, especially in hospitality. It's for this reason, building communities will be a key feature of a brand's marketing strategy. Customers want to feel like they are a part of your brand, know the inside scoop and be valued. Building a community with your customers, can bring many benefits to your business such as: ↳ Build more meaningful relationships with your customers ↳ Create genuine and authentic conversations ↳ High organic engagement ↳ Improved customer service ↳ Learn and understand their needs and wants To me, community marketing is more than just a growth tool, it's building a vibe to attract your tribe and allow a business to really elevate their brand in a more meaningful way.

Community involvement enhances brand trust Brands that actively participate in their community build credibility. Supporting local initiatives or social causes shows that your brand is about more than profits. It humanizes your business and creates lasting bonds. #CommunityEngagement #BrandTrust #SocialImpact

The power of community in business is priceless. It's not just about individual or brand goals, but about cultivating long-term bonds and shared purposes. By creating moments where members feel a sense of belonging, and align with a common purpose, we reinforce the ties that bind us. We create a space that people don’t want to leave for fear of missing out and missing the people who make them feel connected. This approach is bigger than just networking; it's about building a community that's united in its journey and purpose. #CommunityBuilding #CultivateRelationships #SharedPurpose #SenseofBelonging #MakeConnections
