3 BUSINESS GOALS Engagement Marketing is a strategy for directly engaging with customers to encourage them to actively participate in the growth and tdevelopment of a brand In contrast to a traditional marketing approach in which advertising messages are addressed to a strictly defined target audience, Engagement Marketing does something new and fundamentally different. First of all, there is a complete change to the approach to customers. The traditional customer philosophy is that the customer is always right, but adhering to this saying only changes behavior and strategy for the short-term. It is essential, however, that companies also think long-term about their business plans. Success depends not only on acquiring new customers, but also on keeping their loyalty as long as possible. Engagement Marketing advocates believe consumers should not be treated merely as passive receivers of a company s content. Instead, they should take an open approach that encourages the co-creation of the brand in the communication channels where their customers prefer to spend their time. 44,5 minuty As the name suggests, Engagement Marketing encourages potential customers to voluntarily interact and communicate with a specific brand.

6 WOW EXPERIENCE A SERIES OF IMPRESSIONS Everyone has heard that first impressions are crucial and that they determine the lasting perceptions of a person, company or organization.

9 CONTENT AND TRANSPARENT MARKETING With any website, content is critical. You should focus on quality over quantity. Poorly written content will drive visitors away. On the other hand, clear and useful content will keep visitors coming back. Engagement Marketing, and a strong emphasis on quality content, is directly related to the concept of Transparent Marketing. The content and style should match the purpose. Is the site primarily intended to be educational or promotional? A corporate blog can be a great resource for attracting people interested in exploring a given subject. The content should always address the audience s needs and wants and not be blatantly promotional or boring. Brand transparency means encouraging customers to freely evaluate the quality of services and to share their opinions and thoughts. With this strategy, a firm builds an image of trust, that they have nothing to hide and are open to critical feedback.

Having an official brand profile on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is a great way to create a community of like-minded and passionate people whose online presence could quickly become a driving force for brand promotion and growth.

Social media enables a company to discuss opinions with customers and gather information.

One exaggerated but common business sentiment is that If you are not on Facebook, you do not exist. This may seem extreme, but it emphasizes the importance of reaching beyond the main company website. Social media is a defining feature of our modern era.

11 BRAND AMBASSADORS ADDED VALUE By establishing a strong social media presence, companies may also reap the unexpected benefit of acquiring brand ambassadors. Brand ambassadors are individuals who are active online (groups of Facebook fans, for example) who, by interacting online, can unconsciously begin to work as spokespeople for the specific company or product. As they share their knowledge, opinions, and individual experiences with a community in public, they are often more effective and persuasive than standard advertising. Consider how often we recommend products to friends and acquaintances without any ulterior motive. We recommend, because we are satisfied with the product. Web recommendations from brand ambassadors work the same way exposing more people to the product without any of the instinctive mistrust that comes along with sponsored advertisements. A strong advantage this type of recommendation is that people do it completely voluntarily. They willingly review, search for the latest trends, boast about their knowledge, and are open for news, all as a part of their individual social media presence. For them, it is just another interesting conversation. They do not need to be experts in a given area, and their online activity brings them ever closer to becoming opinion leaders. In order to create such a community, it is crucial to have a dedicated marketing team, specific content strategy, and a commitment to openness to external feedback.

14 SUMMARY Customer engagement and frequent brand interaction are the main goals of Engagement Marketing. This kind of open and collaborative attitude toward a customers and their feedback is relatively new in business and marketing. Barriers that once existed between companies and customers, however, have been crossed, largely due to the popularity and accessibility of the Internet.
