Talk:

As traditional advertising costs climb and consumer attention becomes harder to earn, brands are shifting where they invest and who they invest in. Today’s most powerful brand ambassadors aren’t just influencers; they’re employees, superfans, and passionate creators embedded within your online communities.

At the same time, digital behavior is changing. Over 65% of Google searches now end without a click, meaning consumers are finding what they need – just not on your website. Across all buyers and generations, social media is the new destination for deeper discovery and brand engagement, led by the voices your consumers trust.

In this session, we’ll explore how to build and scale a creator-powered ecosystem that drives measurable business outcomes.

You’ll learn:

  • Why traditional channels are failing to give the ROI they used to, and how to pivot to creator content in an omnichannel strategy to drive value and impact
  • How to uncover and activate creators across subcultures, niches, and internal teams to authentically represent your brand
  • What top brands are doing to turn social communities into growth engines – and how you can do the same
  • Ways to go beyond surface-level metrics and prove ROI through conversion, retention, and sentiment-driven insights

Whether you’re launching a new product or nurturing a long-term brand story, your greatest ROI in 2025 may come from the people already in your corner.
