It's the definitive guide to authentic advocacy.» —AEDHMAR HYNES, Chief Executive Officer, Text 100 Public Relations «Companies aren't trusted, brands aren't trusted, and nor are your executives. People trust each other, and now they have the tools to communicate with each other using social technologies and mobile, with or without brands involved. As a result, trust has shifted to the participants. Many brands, knowing their credibility has diminished, rely on advocacy programs where trusted members of the community are given a platform and encouraged to speak. Fuggetta shows you exactly how to create an advocacy program that empowers your trusted Advocates.» —JEREMIAH OWYANG, Partner, Altimeter Group
