Perhaps you are feeling the strife of defining “community management”, or trying to figure out where a discipline that touches so many areas of your business fits on your org chart. This is a pivotal time in the discipline of community management, and many brands are asking these very questions. The deepest engagement will take place on new platforms.

Brands are revisiting social media as a community-building tool, rather than a marketing platform. Slowly, though, I see the pendulum is swinging back to social media’s origins as a community platform and a place to build real relationships—a place where engagement also means how many people are talking to your brand in social media, and how often they’re actually being helped, or at least they receive a response.

We come from the association industry and for many of us “membership” people, community is old hat.

Word of mouth marketing has found a strong partner in social media which further emphasizes more personal and relevant relations with clients, prospects, brand advocates and communities. It happens spontaneously via the interactions between people on such sites, but also by assembling relevant pages and communities whereby you closely follow the feedback of the communities and provide a viral element. They do this in any case on other platforms and peer review sites.
