the brand is going to have. Your team, your
digital interaction, the emails that your team
shares, the marketing communication or connect
that your brand stakeholders receive.

influencers really make a difference.

experiential marketing. How well are you engaging
with the customers, are you touching them
emotionally, do they feel special about the way

a memory. Allow them to feel your brand.

traditional ways of Brand Engagement. Your
audience is getting bombarded with the daily
emails from banks, grocery stores, mobile
offers and the numerous APPs they have signed

inference, the feedback counts because a brand
inference be such that a client remembers to talk
more about your positives and is genuinely or
