5. • A brand should build rela5onships with
the social customer on order to drive
advocacy
• Advocates talk about the brand, even
when the brand isn’t listening
• Advocates are trusted among their peers
and within their micro communi7es
• Advocates are aiding and influencing
others down the purchase funnel
• The reach of one advocate is minimal; as
an aggregate, the total reach can make a
strong business impact
Advocates aid & influencers their
communi7es through the purchase
funnel and don’t need incen7ves to
engage says @britopian
