What Brands Get Wrong About Community Building. In this Genuin Connections episode, Genuin CMO Matt Wurst and David Teicher, Co-founder & CEO of Qru, break down one of the biggest missteps brands make when trying to build authentic communities—focusing too much on acquiring new customers while neglecting existing fans. David highlights how CRM and loyalty programs are often underutilized or reduced to simple email lists, instead of being seen as powerful community engagement tools. The reality? Customers who have already bought from you aren’t just numbers in a database—they’re potential brand advocates if activated the right way. 🔹 Why CRM & loyalty programs should be at the heart of community-building 🔹 How brands miss out by prioritizing new customers over existing fans 🔹 The shift from transactional marketing to true brand fandom Too many brands treat community as just a social media play, but it’s so much more. The real opportunity? Investing in the people who already believe in your brand.
