Participation

Creating moments that matter—where people have a hand in shaping their world.

Every day, people are bombarded by messaging from various media. Sometimes this leads to an action such as a purchase. But most often these transactions are quickly forgotten. However, when we engage in the creation of these stories, they hold a much deeper value.

Through participation, we help clients build experiences that cultivate deep, emotional connections with the people they care about most—generating advocacy and sometimes even causing people to share in a brand’s identity.

Loyalty
I repeatedly choose you over other comparable options—even if your price is higher—because you meet my need or want in a way that is more relevant to me.
Advocacy
I will be an ambassador for you with the people who matter to me and my connection with your brand will remain resilient through times of disruption.
Identity
Your brand is woven into the fabric of who I am as a consumer and I feel a deep, emotional connection with you akin to a relationship.

Continuous relationship

Participation is built on reciprocal, two-way relationships between the brand or organization and four core groups: customers, colleagues, constituents, and communities.

Each of these audiences may require a different path, but by embracing an ongoing feedback loop that we actually listen to, participation paves the way for meaningful impact and a host of sustainable business outcomes.
