How can brands enter the conversation?
• Listen first
• Be authentic andtransparent
• Be responsive
• Give people “things todo”
• Listen some more
• Bring Value!!
• Common mistakes:– Overload with too much
information
– What is the goal? How issuccess measured?
– What is the valueproposition? Clear?Valuable?
– Marketing speak
– Viewed as a thing versusa process

Influence: Gather’s Cascade Model
• When one Gatherer shares an idea,inspiration, story, poem, photograph,or video, we notify that person’sfriends
• These friends are inclined to read thecontent because it is socially relevantto them. Some of them comment
• When these friends comment, wenotify their friends and the processcontinues
• As more people comment, the ideacascades to broader and broadercircles through trusted relationships
• This process is leveraged to extendthe reach of our partners’ campaignsacross Gather
