Listen to hear more about how Laura Carros created the Ambrielle community.
Some communities are organized by companies. For example, the Harley Owners Group (HOG), a club for Harley motorcycle owners, was organized by Harley-Davidson. But many communities spring up naturally, without any help from a marketer. A local arts community is an example. In the case of Ambrielle, JCPenney created and manages the group; in the case of the HOG, Harley-Davidson manages the group in conjunction with its members.
Another difference between the Ambrielle community and HOG is that the Ambrielle community is only composed of influencers. By contrast, anyone who owns a Harley can be a member of HOG. Ambrielle influencers provide feedback about products to JCPenney and take an active role in designing the company’s offerings. In other words, the influencers participate regularly in marketing research activities. Another term for this type of community is an influencer panel.
