Every day we engage with our favorite brands across social channels, and every day we expect them to engage back. Major brands have created online personas that are real and human in their consumers’ eyes. They’ve created these identities with distinct voices, allowing them to connect and grow their community like never before.

Join Huge and four Community Managers from different industries in a panel moderated by Digiday’s Saya Weissman (http://digiday.com/author/sayadigiday-com/), as they discuss humanizing the brand voice, driving engagement, marketing in real-time, best practices for community retention and growth, and much more.
