Program Overview
Community has become a buzzword and everyone wants it. People want to be a part of it and many want to build their own. But few know how to get started on the right track or develop a strategy. Entrepreneurs and brands are looking to bring people together but want a framework in order to get started, or need some guidance on how to breathe life into an existing community.
Building an effective community can connect your purpose to action, create customer feedback loops, and create a positive experience with your brand.
Delivered over 6 weeks in video format, each week will include a 60 minute lesson, as well as a group Q&A call (choose from 2 different times each week). The program includes worksheets, checklists, and strategy templates.
Anna will be sharing with you the ‘secret sauce’ for building an effective purpose-driven community that can function in both online and offline spaces. She will share her experience of what made the LinkedIn Local community possible and the theory behind its success so that you can replicate this.
This model for effective community building and the structure of this program distills the six key stages that it takes to start, nurture and scale a community. The program will allow you to launch a community using a values based approach.
This is the first time this program has been run publicly and is priced as a beta test - in the future it is likely to be priced much higher. The program begins on October 31st and spaces are very limited.
