How Everybody Marketing Turns Your Team and Customers into Brand Champions

Your team isn’t just a bunch of employees, they are the heartbeat of your brand.

Encourage them to become enthusiastic brand ambassadors.

Host workshops or lunches where you help them to understand and articulate your brand’s values and story.

By nurturing a sense of ownership and pride, your team will organically amplify your brand message to their professional and personal networks.

A passionate team member is one of the most potent marketing tools you can wield.

Action to take:

Hold a monthly “brand power” session, where team members share personal stories related to your brand’s impact, creating authentic and relatable connections.

User generated content or UGC taps into the power of your customers voice.

Encourage your customers to share their experiences on social media using a branded hashtag.

Spotlight their stories on your own marketing channels, turn your customers into the heroes.

This not celebrates their loyalty but also builds a community of advocates, turning your customers into co-creators of your brand.

Action to take:

When was the last time you thought about running a competition with a theme that promotes your brand values? Talk to a customer or two and collaborate on fun ideas. Keep it simple.

Who loves one-sided communication? No one.

With an Everybody Marketing strategy your audience becomes your collaborator.

Run polls, surveys, Q&As sessions to involve them in shaping your products and your marketing campaigns.

By enabling the voices of your audiences you are nurturing a sense of belonging.

Action to take:

Brainstorm a “You Choose, We Create” campaign, allowing your audience to vote on the next big idea for your business. This could be a product, theme or new service.

In a world of marketing and advertising noise, it’s hard to stand out. We get it.

Don’t be fancy, but authentically share your challenges, triumphs and your background story.

Highlight the faces behind the scenes, celebrate individual stories and let your audience see the human side of your business.

Keep it real.

Action to take.

Launch a Behind-the-Scenes Tuesday Series, showcasing the daily hustle, quirky moments and heartfelt stories of your team members. Choose a channel or two to distribute. Get one going really well first before you try and do every media channel available to you!

Let’s try an analogy about an Everybody Marketing Strategy.

Your business becomes an orchestra, where every member from your team to your customers plays a very distinct and indispensable role.

You will transform your one-way marketing megaphone into a harmonious symphony where each note contributes to a beautiful song and also growth!
