They should be passionate about what you do and believe in what you stand for. Let them know how participating will benefit them as well not just you. 

3) Create Advocacy Campaign: Once you've found your advocates, you need to create Advocacy Campaign that will help them promote your message and brand. The goal of an Advocacy Campaign is the foster a sense of community from a group of people who share a common belief. Advocacy Campaign can include content creation, social media outreach, events, and more.

Brand Advocacy Ambassador Campaign

Let's start by defining what a Brand Advocacy Ambassador Campaign is? A Brand Advocacy Ambassador Campaign is a community-building initiative that relies on the support of passionate advocates to promote a message and brand.

Now let's go back to the GaryVee and Mark Z. interview for second. Remember when I said NORTH STAR ..... OK Great! Now we are going to breakdown the 4 Parts to a successful Brand Advocacy Ambassador Campaign.

1) The ASK: What do you want your Advocates to do for you? This is where you make the ask. Advocates need to know what you want them to do. It could be creating content, sharing your message, or helping to promote your brand. Be clear and specific with your request.

2) The WHY: Why should Advocates care? Advocates need to know why they should care about what you're asking them to do. They need to see the value in it for them. Otherwise, they're not going to bother.

3) The HOW: How can Advocates help? Advocates need to know how they can help you. This includes providing them with resources, training, and support.

4) The THANK YOU: Advocates need to be thanked for their help. This shows them that you appreciate their efforts and makes them more likely to continue helping you in the future. You can even make-up awards or certificates to show your appreciation. Trust me small gestures go a long way.

Advocacy and Your Personal Brand

Finally, I don't want to end this post without discussing Advocacy and the tremendous effects it can have on your Personal Brand. Creating advocacy around your personal brand can be a very positive thing, if done correctly. However if you don't believe in or are not passionate about your message or product you are promoting, then it can have the opposite effect.

Advocacy requires you to put yourself out there. You need to be vulnerable. You need to be willing to share your story and be open to feedback. Advocacy also requires you to be authentic. People can see through BS. So if you're not being genuine, they will know. And could be an indication as to why things are not going well with your brand right now.

The key is to make sure you're doing advocacy for the right reasons. Do it because you believe in what you're doing and because you want to make a difference. Not because you're trying to sell something or get something in return.

If you can do that, then Advocacy can be a powerful tool for building your personal brand and growing your business.
