Community Exposed: The Three Lies Every Marketer Needs To Hear

Everyone’s talking about community, but what does it actually take to build and scale?  

Claire Ferreira, award-winning CEO and Founder of Mums in Marketing,  and one of the most authentic voices in community building today, cuts through the noise, ‘exposing’ what community actually is, where storytelling can be missed, and which metrics matter 

You’ll leave with:

 • The clarity to know what community means

 •  The place to keep an eye on (and it might not be where you think) 

 • How engagement is a lie

Why Your Product Needs a Narrative

Products Don’t Fail. They Drift. Most products don’t collapse overnight. They slowly lose clarity. Positioning softens. Messaging fragments. Teams begin to pull in different directions.

Without a narrative, even great products get lost in the noise. With a strong product narrative, sales pitches sound the same no matter who delivers them. Marketing campaigns reinforce the same message customers hear from your product team, and Leadership can explain the product in one clear sentence.

The products that stay on track follow a simple principle: Markets are not won by the teams with the best products. They are won by the teams that tell the best stories.

What you will Learn:

In this session, we will explore how to build a product narrative by answering three simples questions.

1. What value your product truly delivers?
Digging deeper than features to learn how to communicate contrast around your differentiated value.


2. Who cares most about that value?
Learn how to customise conflict to your ideal customer profile to create an emotional product story that resonates.

3. Why do you deliver that value best?
Learn the five sources of credibility to ensure you can back up the promises your product has made.
