http://bit.ly/2R4VIKh | Learn a helpful framework to quantify, measure, and grow engagement with your leads and customers in this free self-paced course. To me, brand engagement is an emotional connection with a message. And I use that fairly high-level, because a message can be something internally with your colleagues, and it also can be externally with marketing. Generally, I will be speaking about marketing with this experience, but this idea of brand engagement can actually apply to every part of your life, including your own personal brand, with your relationships, with your boss, as well as with your audience. One thing I also would say with brand engagement is, people are really overusing the word engagement. Again, this idea of the personal connection, the emotional connection, really being able to inspire an individual to take some type of action in their own lives, that to me is what brand engagement involves. - Amanda Slavin Amanda Slavin CEO & Founder, CatalystCreativ With a Masters of Curriculum and Instruction from NEAG School of Education at UCONN along with a rich history in the nightlife and entertainment industries, Amanda now fuses her diverse expertise to help brands achieve deep and meaningful engagement with customers which goes far beyond superficial likes and shares on social media.
