The Tortoise AND The Hare: Launch Your Community with a Bang, Without Sacrificing Staying Power Georgina (Cannie) Donahue, Pragmatic Institute

Plenty of community managers have learned (the hard way) that a big community launch can cause the lightning in a bottle effect - Where excitement runs high initially, but quickly loses its grip. But does that mean we are doomed to slow roll outs and quiet pilots? And what do you do when your leadership team wants to launch with a bang despite best practices? Join this conversation to learn best practices for balancing the best of both worlds. Georgina (Cannie) Donohue will discuss how to craft a phased launch plan for your community based on battle-tested approaches and hands-on suggestions. Learn how to tap into your early advocates to seed the community, create a controlled environment to establish the ideal member culture, and still get to throw a launch party.

If you have a support community, you know it can effectively provide self-service and reduce support costs. But your customers are expecting more from you every day.

Join us to learn how you can expand your community from a cost-reduction tool to a strategic element of your company’s growth strategy.


Social Care: The Future of Community, Social and Support! John Summers, Grazitti Interactive

The Community is a thriving environment, like a marketplace requiring constant attention, innovation and maintenance. This is where Social Care comes in to make it happen. In the past year, we have seen that social platforms and communities have continued to evolve even more. This evolution has now grown to where the work that community managers, social managers, support managers, and marketing managers do is all intersecting around the same customers, just in different stages of a customer journey. As more organizations realize this, a need for combined process and team is also more critical than ever and this is Social Care, the combination of social media monitoring and Community with the power of CRM.
