the six dimensions of sharing

we converse
we do things together
we want to achieve the same things
we believe in the same things
we create together
we know the same story
20
each individual dimension of sharing
drives business value
at the far right end of the business value
axis, shared history and shared product
drive the most value for brands globally
but there is also a compounding effect
to sharing. the more dimensions of
sharing you practice, the greater the
business value from each

correlation to consumer intent to recommend
BUSINESS VALUE OF SHARING*
there is a hierarchy of sharing…
21
the y-axis of demand for sharing
shows that more substantive,
involving dimensions are in higher
demand; they are also in scarcer
supply
less demanded forms of sharing tend
to be more prevalent but drive less
business value, possibly because
execution is out of sync with people’s
expectations
history is significantly more influential
than its demand would suggest

we measured the business value of sharing
when you ask people directly, they say they want brands to share
but to prove that sharing pays we asked people to rate how well individual brands share. we then asked people if they purchase, use and recommend those same brands
we analyzed the correlation between the two to understand the connection between peoples’ opinions and their actions when brands share this correlation is a predictive, reliable estimate of the
value of sharing
we focus on the
