Thank you, Alina!

Every brand wants to encourage their constituents to actively engage in Brand Advocacy – and in today's highly connected world, this is even more important than ever. That's why our friend, Rob Fuggetta, founded Zuberance – a social marketing company that helps brands create authentic relationships with their customers and facilitates advocacy. And now, Rob has written a book on the subject: "Brand Advocates – Turning enthusiastic customers into a powerful marketing force." This is an interesting subject, so we sat down with Rob to talk about his book, his company, and how brands are leveraging social platforms to super-charge their advocates. And, here's what he had to say!

Toda marca quiere incentivar a sus consumidores a involucrarse activamente en ser “Defensores de Marca”. En el mundo altamente conectado de hoy esto es más importante que nunca. Por tal razón, nuestro amigo, Rob Fuggetta, fundó Zuberance, una empresa de marketing social que le ayuda a las marcas a crear relaciones auténticas con sus clientes y facilita ser embajador de marca. Rob Fuggetta es el CEO y Fundador de Zuberance. Se le considera la fuerza motora detrás de toda la estrategia y visión de Zuberance. Es uno de los más experimentados de Silicon Valley (20 años de trayectoria) y ha tomado roles de liderazgo en tres Start-ups, incluyendo a Genuity que se hizo público en junio del 2000. Es un ex-socio de Regis McKenna (la agencia más reconocida de marketing y comunicaciones en Silicon Valley). Desde ahí lideró los negocios globales de Apple. Hablamos con Rob de su libro, de su empresa y cómo las marcas están usando las plataformas sociales para potenciar a sus defensores.

Flying used to mean something, and American Airlines is trying to make flying meaningful again by delivering a better brand experience on the ground and in the air. Yet, most of the conversations about this rebranding effort seem to be focusing on the new logo. Of course, we all know that your logo is not your brand. This idea was first put forward a decade ago by our Director of Transformation, Marty Neumeier, and it's never been truer. So, I wonder why is it that so many people in our industry still talk about the logo as if it was a brand?

El volar solía tener significado, y American Airlines esta intentando devolvérselo al entregar una mejor experiencia de marca tanto en tierra como en el cielo. A pesar de esto, muchas de las conversaciones sobre este esfuerzo de rebranding se han enfocado únicamente en el nuevo logo. Claro, todos sabemos que tu logo no es tu marca. Esta idea fue planteada y difundida hace más de una década por nuestro Director of Transformation, Marty Neumeier, y nunca ha sido más cierta. Entonces me pregunto por qué todavía tanta gente dentro de nuestra industria aún habla sobre el logo como si fuese la marca.
