KOLs – brands partnership

Today’s Pattern
Hit and run
Everybody does everything
Everything is done the same way
By the same guys
That basically are in denial with their personality

The Social Partnership Should Evolve
We need you because we cannot handle the bandwidth
We need your extra help in managing communities
We need you for your specialties
We need you for your fresh personality
We need you to challenge us
We need the A-lister, we definitely need the M-lister

But
You need to understand brand communication
You need to understand clients, owners, stakeholders
You need to act professionally (responsible)
You need to be a communication enhancer
You have to choose
