Tribe Management, Not Brand Management

You don’t want just “customers” anymore.

You want to build a tribe. Seth says:

Start with permission

Ground everything in relevancy

People want the ability to connect to other

people, not companies

Seek products, services, value for the tribe,

not the other way around

As quality of tribal connection increases,

brand value increases dramatically
