Online communities have taken hold among businesses, to connect employees, customers and partners. However, community management as a profession is largely misunderstood and inadequately resourced. We created this book to raise the literacy level among businesses on what community managers actually do, and for community managers to have a trusted guide in their daily jobs. This guide addresses at a high level the strategy, design and everyday execution of a successful and healthy community.

The old brand model, which advocated the creation of an external brand image to influence consumers, is a thing of the past. We think it’s time to do things differently. So, we wrote this whitepaper drawing upon the anthropological concept of culture to introduce a new model for brands. We argue that its time for true values to replace the external brand image. In other words, looking good is no longer enough. To compete in today’s fast paced landscape, brands must be better from the inside out. We call this new model Brand Culture—and we think it has the potential to transform companies into truly amazing brands.

http://ow.ly/hsc9k, Each year, we check in with some of the top community managers in the industry and ask them about emerging trends, and business value to their company. Thanks to all the professionals that participated. Let’s start with an overview:
Content marketing requires a shift in company culture, resources, budgets, partners and strategy. Rebalancing is critical to achieve these goals. The choice is whether to rebalance now, or later when the battle for attention may become even more difficult than it currently is. This report from Altimeter Group introduces a five-step content maturity model, complete with real-world case examples, to guide organizations from “standing” to “running” with their content strategy. A self-audit tool, content channel review, and actionable recommendations are also included.
Community management goes way beyond customer service and crisis management. Making human connections is absolutely crucial to the success of your business. There is no avoiding it.
All the data has citations and sources, so you can show this to your boss, your coworkers, your clients, or anybody who needs to learn the value of community management!

Community as a discipline - somewhere over the rainbowMaria Ogneva
My slides from my talk at Swarm Melbourne. Community building is just like taking a walk down the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz-- if you help others get what you need, you may get what every community manager wants: a healthy and engaged community, a community that's a strategic part of the organization, not an afterthought. Evolve your community to be an organization-wide discipline, beyond a job.
Community building is not about social media. It’s about people. It’s not about how many followers you have. It’s about truly becoming a valuable brand and then building an engaged audience around it. This deck walks through three of the biggest building blocks of community: the tools, the process, and the measurement.
The 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer is the firm’s 13th annual trust and credibility survey.

The 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer online survey sampled 26,000 general population respondents with an oversample of 5,800 informed publics ages 25-64 across 26 countries. All informed publics met the following criteria: college-educated; household income in the top quartile for their age in their country; read or watch business/news media at least several times a week; follow public policy issues in the news at least several times a week.
