Page 9: Community Engagement: Managing Communities Across Digital Embassies

“Social  Engagement”  is  a  con=nuous  set  of  interac=ons,  communica=ons,  and  par=cipatory  behaviors  between  individuals  seeking  meaningful  connec=ons  to  others.  

For  organiza=ons,  this  leads  to  a  more  engaged  community,  loyal  customers,  stronger  brand  affinity,  and  measurable  outcomes  which  demonstrate  mutual  gain  for  all  stakeholders.

What is Community Management?

15  

Page 16: Community Engagement: Managing Communities Across Digital Embassies

edelmandigital.com

Community Management is the act of engaging members of a specific group in a participatory fashion.

Community Managers fall under the “ambassador” category of the organization, representing the brand or business in a specific community ecosystem.

Communities form around shared interests and participants seek value from them.

~Suzanne Marlatt, Community Manager for EdelmanDigital.com & Edelman Digital embassies

Connectivity: Value provided by connecting members of community in mutually beneficial ways.
