Empower your employees, because they are your brand! Every company can benefit enormously by recognizing the fact that social connection is an integral part of all of our lives now. Employees, interns, associates, friends and family members are an incredibly important asset for advocacy, market intelligence and ideas/input.
Remember that in today’s social world, every person has an extended circle of personal influence and an opportunity to build their own personal “brand.”
By helping your employees, and everyone you know, build their brand rather than squelching individuality, you could build an army of very powerful advocates. Most people, when given the opportunity, will advocate for their brands when they feel good about them.
Ramon will share his passion, personal experience and methods to help you unlock this incredible asset.
