Return On Engagement (ROE)
Ongoing engagement with your audience is critical to growth and relevance. But how are you doing in that process of building competitive advantage by engaging your audience? In this session, you’ll get a deep analysis of your strategy, combined with industry insight. In collaboration with your newsroom , Hearken will provide return on engagement recommendations and develop a specific best practice for your editorial team.
At Hearken our goal is to help partners build their capability to leverage engagement to drive growth. We do this through enabling community participation in the creation of the products a business makes — be that content, services, policy, events or tangible goods. It’s an “outside-in” approach.
In this workshop, we dive deep in your current approach and analyze your efforts, and more importantly, the commercial aspects of your user-engagement. Together we develop new recommendations for your engagement and at the end of the session, you’ll have a clear overview of your commercial potential and best practices designed specifically for your team.
