🎁 The Community Everywhere Era & Free Book

Have you heard about the ‘Community Everywhere’ era?

Last week the Founder of FeverBee & Community Strategist, Rich Millington, shared an insight with our Community Cohort #3 about the end of platform-centric strategies and the beginning of a new era of community building.

One where there isn’t a single, central, destination for your community.

One where communities need to align efforts to match the current trends of how people want to engage.

One where we build and facilitate entire ecosystems in a multifaceted approach, not just on a single platform.

Whilst we can’t share the full recording of this workshop, Rich has kindly shared some great articles diving into this exact notion. Plus he has generously gifted his book The Indispensable Community to you all for free (you’re welcome 😉):

• The ‘Community Everywhere’ Era Has Arrived: Don’t Waste This Opportunity

• The Perfect Community Metric – Finding Your North Star

• Download your free copy of the Indispensable Community 🧡
