Above All Else, Build Trust
During the last decade, brands built responsive websites, obsessed about their sites’ conversion rates, watched social media like hawks, and “related to the public” to acquire customers.
That’s all well and good, but the way people make buying decisions has changed, and most brands have failed to focus on what’s most important: trust. So, what is trust, really, and how do brands successfully build and maintain it above all else?
Trust occupies a unique place in the public relations space and one that impacts the entire customer journey, but it’s not easily defined or measured.
Kristyn Wilson, VP of Public Relations and Communications at Upright, will share how her keen interest in answering that question led to the creation of an entirely new agency (born from Adept Marketing) and why digital marketing + trust is a winning combination.
