I recently had the pleasure of interviewing author, educator, speaker, and authentic thought-leader, Mark Schaefer about his new book, Belonging to the Brand, Why Community is the Last Great Marketing Strategy.

I think Mark’s work is important in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing marketing landscape. As we all know, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for marketers to stay relevant and create authentic engagement.

Here are my favorite two minutes of our conversation:

We discuss why community represents a future-proof strategy for businesses struggling to navigate this challenging time. Schaefer sheds light on the famous Peter Drucker axiom, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” and explains how fostering a strong sense of community can lead to better engagement and long-term customer loyalty.

Whether you’re a business marketing executive or just someone looking to improve your marketing game, this conversation is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips you can apply to your own strategies.
