From Joining to Belonging: The Power of Community in Uncertain Times

Why a strong community is your most valuable asset in uncertain times

Markets are fragmenting, budgets are being slashed, and customer loyalty is evaporating. In challenging economic times, a true community is no longer a "nice-to-have", it is your brand's most vital safety net. While traditional advertising becomes more expensive and less effective, a loyal fan base is what carries a brand through the storm.

However, many leaders hesitate to act because community building feels overwhelmingly complex or impossible to scale. We are here to change that.

What the webinar is about

In our webinar "From Joining to Belonging," we provide strategic clarity on what actually makes community work in times of uncertainty:

  • Why communities are becoming a real response to economic and social pressure
  • Why fans consistently outperform transactional customers
  • Why community is shaped by leadership decisions, not content creation
  • How to shift from chasing new leads to building value with a loyal core

What you can expect

  • An honest look at today's relevance: why fans systematically outperform classic customers in terms of lifetime value and advocacy.
  • Breaking the Complexity: We provide Quick Wins for those who feel overwhelmed by the topic and show what belonging means in business terms.
  • Brand-Led Belonging: Why we must focus on shared values and meaning rather than just transactional benefits or discount-driven engagement.
  • Inspiring extensions and real examples: Why creating exclusivity, knowledge advantages and planned surprise moments keep communities alive - beyond platforms, content plans and campaigns.
  • A Strategic Roadmap: How to identify your true fans, align them with your brand strategy, and build a sustainable rhythm that keeps your brand relevant.

Who should attend

This webinar is designed for Brand Leaders, Marketing Decision-Makers, and Executives who want to stop "running a community" and start understanding how belonging creates long-term relevance, loyalty, and sustainable growth - even when the market is tough.

The webinar will take place on February 26, 2026, at 11 a.m. and will be held in English. Register here free of charge.
