In this episode, Christopher and Nicole discuss the idea that community exists everywhere, not just on a company's own branded community platform. They talk about how community management is evolving to be more cross-functional, with community professionals embedding in other teams like social media and customer success.

Key points they cover:

  • Community happens across social channels, forums like Reddit, and other informal spaces online. Companies need to think about how to participate in these spaces, not just drive people back to their own community platform.
  • It's important for community managers to align strategies and data across all community touchpoints, though this requires breaking down silos and working cross-functionally.
  • No technology alone can solve the problem of managing community everywhere. Human insight is still critical to connect the dots.
  • At its core, community professionals love building relationships and connections. The challenge is balancing that with showing business value.
  • To understand your customers, you need to know them as whole people, not just their interactions on your community platform.

They conclude that managing community everywhere is complex but critical for the evolution of community management. More collaboration across the organization is key.
