Let's Talk About Brand Let's Talk About Brand Conversation with Brooke Sellas
This week's conversation about brand conversations was a really, really great conversation. Our guest, Brooke Sellas, literally wrote the book on brand conversations, and this is such an important part of both customer care and brand impression.
We talked about different ways that those conversations can take place, whether it is in public, on social media, on dark social, or one-on-one. We talk about the team that you should have in place and how you should prepare them to make sure that those conversations put the best foot possible forward for your brand, and we delved into emerging technologies such as Chat and AI when it comes to customer conversations.
