Tribe marketing redefines traditional branding (George “Intelligent Banking” case study)
The BCR head of marketing – Laura Andrei, brought up as a case study the bank’s George platform of intelligent banking. Through the concept of tribe marketing, Laura presented the George platform main values, targets and as well the collaborations with similar online platforms like Uber. Tribe marketing acts like a friend recommending a certain something and how you would rather trust their opinion than a stranger’s. Having Laure with us, has deferentially brought George closer to our hearts, assisting us to create the requested bonding between concepts and people.
Building a vibrant community

How to manage a successful online & offline community
As for the questions of “how” and “why” when managing successfully online and offline communities, Osnat Peled, Managing Partner EVO social media and brand reputation management, tacked new perspectives and shared real examples.
Using BWFR as an example, Osnat detailed how at first, EVO and the team, used the online platform to organize events, seminars and build a ‘tribe’ of business women that could meet and uplift within themselves. Successful communities don’t just materialize overnight, especially carefully planned online ones but the most thriving aim to be the answer for the needs of people.
The event included as usual a wonderful networking session between all members, creating new collaborations.
