WCG ThoughtLeader Podcast Series   /     WCG ThoughtLeader Interview: Paulo Simas, WCG, on The Engagement Span

Description

In today's environment, the customer drives the success of a brand. WCG’s model  for how we listen, learn, and interact with customers starts with the 4 A's: the framework for a continuum of communication and decision making that span across all points of engagement. Hand in hand with the 4 A’s are the 4 L’s: a process that enables us to influence decisions regarding the customer's relationship with our brand. Collectively, the 4 A’s and the 4 L’s add up to become The Engagement Span (ES). In this WCG ThoughtLeader podcast, Paulo Simas, Chief Creative Officer at WCG, explains what The Engagement Span is, describes the 4 A’s and 4 L’s and how each element fits together to form The Engagement Span to achieve an impact for clients. Paulo argues that ES is a dynamic framework for engaging current and future customers. He believes that by merging behavior with insight, we create an effective blueprint for powerful communication. Finally, he offers advice to companies on what they need to do to prepare and be ready for The Engagement Span.
