Global Marketing
Employees are key ingredient for success in this new modern world:
More than ever – a company’s brand is influenced by what consumers are saying about the brand
A person like you (everyday employee) is 2x trusted vs. Chief Executive
(Edelman Trust Barometer, ‘13)

90% trust recommendations from people they know. 70% trust consumer opinions posted online. 14% trust advertising (Nielsen, 2009)
How companies market, sell to and support their customers is changing…
What roles do employees play in this transformation? How do you support them?

Closing with final thoughts…
1. Employees are key in building some of the lost, but they need clear governance, training and processes.
2. All employees can use social to be more effective. It may just be listening, but that is critical skill set to get closer to customer.
