Understanding Tribal Marketing A new Model for Marketers in a World of Consumer Relationships and Marketing-as-Dialog

Marketers today face two major challenges: 1) keeping up with trends & technologies to provide the best ways to reach consumers, and 2) showing accountability for measurable results. Today's marketing problems will be solved by people with diverse skill sets. Marketing must strike a balance between customizing messages and generating ROI. Purely demographic approaches are losing effectiveness, while exclusively pursuing profitable 1-to-1 may not build enough sales volume. Tribal Marketing may be the best approach.

Viewing consumers as tribes allows brands to be a means of supporting tribal connections. It is a way of conversing with consumers rather than shouting at them

In our eBook we present a new way of thinking about brands and consumers, and how the two interrelate.

By putting the tribe at the center of the marketing conversation, a brand can expand relationships with loyal consumers and also foster relationships with new consumers

For example, many people are concerned about the environmental impact of bottled water. We pro-actively addressed this in our recommendations.
