DESCRIPTION
Not only is it hard for brands to create enough content to fuel digital and social channels, but brand-created content no longer performs as well as it once did. So how can you create content that actually resonates with your customers? Content shared by advocates performs 10 times better than content shared to paid channels, and seven times better than content in owned channels. That’s why leading brands like Fossil are powering their customers and employees to create authentic brand content, including unique photos and videos, and share brand content on social channels.
