    How To Create An LGBTQ-friendly Workplace

    How To Create An LGBTQ-friendly Workplace

    Over 8 million workers in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ+. According to a report by the UCLA School of Law, over 40% of LGBTQ+ workers (45.5%) reported experiencing unfair treatment at work, including being fired, not hired, or harassed because of their sexual orientation or gender identity at some point in their lives.
    That’s nearly 4 million workers harassed in the U.S. alone, and a third of those end up quitting their jobs.
    This is a cycle that needs to stop, and it starts with you, here… learning about some of the unique challenges facing LGBTQ+ in the workplace today. You might now know what to say or do, and that’s OK.
    That’s what Steven Wakabayashi is here to help us with.
    After leading creative teams at many notable brands and agencies including Apple, Google, and Walmart, Steven is now creating pathways for queer BIPOC creatives into the design industry through QTBIPOC Design, creating safe spaces for BIPOC communities within mindfulness through Mindful Sights, and designing equitable products and experiences for clients with his creative agency Stranger Creative. He is a creative director, changemaker, and founder of mission-driven organizations empowering historically marginalized communities.
    Agency Accelerated host Stephanie Liu will ask Steven:
    🌈 What some of the unique challenges facing LGBTQ+ are today
    🌈 Why support from employers is critical, and where they’re falling short
    🌈 Where agencies and employers can help now

    How To Drive ROI with Customer Advocacy

    How To Drive ROI with Customer Advocacy

    According to SocialToaster, on average, brands generate a 650% ROI for every dollar invested in influencer and advocacy marketing.
    Yet, the reality is, most brands aren’t leveraging customer advocacy, and those that are, aren’t tracking it.
    That sounds like a terrific revenue opportunity for marketing agencies.
    What exactly is customer advocacy, and more importantly, how do we do it well, in such a way that we’ll actually deliver ROI for our clients?
    That’s exactly what Christina Garnett is going to talk to us about.
    Christina uses audience intelligence and social listening to learn more about audiences to determine needs, behaviors, and more. As an advocacy strategist and community builder for HubSpot, her work serves to help brands better connect with their current customers, potential customers, and fans, and drive actual revenue.
    Agency Accelerated host Stephanie Liu will ask Christina:
    ✴️  What does customer advocacy mean today
    ✴️  Why customer delight is important
    ✴️  How to prove ROI with customer advocacy
    Think of it as your fun – and free! – consultation for your agency.

    How To Prove Social ROI to Agency Clients

    How To Prove Social ROI to Agency Clients

    In a recent survey of agency owners, Agorapulse found that a whopping 55% of marketing agencies - over half of you - aren’t measuring the ROI or impact of social media marketing for their client’s business. As a result, 65% of agencies report having difficulties attracting and retaining clients.
    You know you’re doing great work for your clients. Isn’t it time you showed them exactly what they’re getting from their investment in you and your agency?
    That’s exactly what Jessika Phillips is going to talk to us about.
    Jessika is a social media strategist and speaker known for her outspoken dedication to relationship marketing. And she’s been leading a Forbes-recognized marketing agency for over a decade. 
    Agency Accelerated host Stephanie Liu will be talking with Jessika about:
    ✴️  Why measuring and proving ROI on social media is so difficult
    ✴️  What can, and cannot, be measured and reported to clients
    ✴️  How her agency shows, not just tells, her clients their ROI

    The Value of ROI to Agency Clients

    The Value of ROI to Agency Clients

    Are you struggling to prove how effective your social media marketing is to your clients? Are you frustrated that the reports you can provide today are really nothing more than surface level vanity metrics? You're not alone. Most marketing agency owners - 55% in fact - do not currently measure the ROI of all the social media work they’re doing for their clients.
    And as a result, 65% of agencies struggle to attract and retain clients. Does that sound familiar?
    Fortunately, there are solutions. There is a way to actually track and measure everything you’re doing on behalf of clients on social media and tie that into business results and impact that will ensure you, and your agency, are part of the strategic decision-making process.
    That’s what we’re covering in today’s episode of Agency Accelerated.
