Argues that, in the era of social media, consumer conversations, word-of-mouth recommendations, client happiness and empowered employees are most important and explains how to become successful in this new business climate. Original.


In an age of readily available feedback on sites like Yelp and Facebook, consumer conversations, or word-of-mouth recommendations, client happiness and empowered employees are the pillars of growth in a successful company. However, many organizations make decisions that contradict these findings and lessen their prospects of expansion.

Because people now expect every brand to have a human "face," companies need to define a clear set of values and incorporate them in all company communication, to reflect the DNA of the organization to both employees and customers. The Conversation Company is aimed at helping organizations become a business in which people are the key driver of growth, sharing engaging content and building the company's culture and business objectives.

Including interviews and case studies of companies such as Disney, Kodak, Nokia, Unilever, Zappos and Microsoft, The Conversation Company is based on solid research which will help organizations achieve sustainable success.

Arvustused

"It is widely accepted that social media has changed the world of marketing dramatically in the last few years, but few books sum up exactly what that is, and how to harness it, better than The Conversation Company by Steven Van Belleghem" Start Your Business Magazine "...hits the nail on the head when it describes the modern, forward-thinking organisation as one that listens before it speaks." B2B Marketing Magazine "Split into short, snappy sections, Conversation Company offers practical tips backed up by with real examples from across the globe from Heineken and KLM to Google and Ralph Lauren. Vitally, the author includes examples of bad practice as well as good and the numerous case studies back up his theories and make the book highly readable. A professor at the Belgium-based Vlerick Business School, Steven's previous book, The Conversation Manager, won several awards and this one might well follow in the same vein." Inside Out, the magazine of the Institute of Internal Communication
