Building Trust Through Human Connection

Alanah Joseph - Headshot

In the current media landscape, people scroll through content mindlessly and endlessly. They may see your business’ content and maybe even engage if it’s compelling enough. But, if you want today’s consumer to click through and buy your product instead of the hundreds of others that popped up in their feed, you need to build trust. Trust is built through human connection. Trust is the essential component to every creator’s success. It is the backbone of their business. When broken, creators can actually be fired from their jobs, or as we call it now “canceled.” When maintained, creators can build communities that are larger than some countries. When you’re compensating a creator, you’re not purchasing impressions like you would with a traditional ad buy. What you are buying is the ability to leverage the creator’s trust with their audience. That trust and connection is what pauses an endless scroll, inspires curiosity, and ultimately leads to purchase. It is powerful.
