“…Sometimes I wonder if Avon HQ knows how much my
blog contributed to its own culture, how many Avon Reps
told me that Beauty Dish helped them decide to walk that
door-to-door path. If I count my saved email, just the ones
from bona fide new Avon Ladies who plunked down hard
cash to get their kit after reading my adventures, it
numbers over 600 now…”

“…Avon remained silent, a marble statue in some
forgotten New York museum… I worked on the fringes,
shared my experience because it felt right, somehow felt
sacred. I never asked for recognition, for reward. I liked
being a lone beacon, someone who blogged the sorry
damn truth about every product - the great ones, the ones
that should have never seen the light of day…”

What is Digital Influence?
Digital Influence is an organized way of
planning and deploying programs in this
new world. It is not about manipulation, nor
about delivering messages. It is about
openly and honestly engaging with users
and participating in the conversation

One where the public does most of the relating and trust in traditional marketing is down. We
believe in a new approach to communicating. One where we listen as much as we talk. Where
we recognize new influencers in the people sitting next to us. We believe in the idea of
engagement and that better things happen through open and transparent dialogue. The levers
that we have pulled for years to sell products and services, change behaviors, advocate for
causes and build brands no longer work the way they did.
The consumer is in charge. Perhaps, she always was. And now, creating a conversation is just
as important as driving media, forming partnerships and crafting messages.
Call it influencer marketing. Call it brand stewardship in the network age.
It’s all public relations.
