Kelley O’Brien, Director – Interactive, Digital, Social at Krispy Kreme, joins the Content Experience Show to discuss bringing personal experiences to a worldwide audience.

A Global Yet Personal Experience

One of the beautiful things about social media is that a person can engage with their favorite businesses and have a personalized experience that was completely unavailable in the very recent past. As your business grows, however, the challenge becomes maintaining that personal experience with an ever-diversifying audience.
Consumer preference, taste, and even sense of humor can vary wildly by region, not to mention by country and continent. Kelley O’Brien, Director – Interactive, Digital, Social at Krispy Kreme, has a lot of experience and advice to give on how to balance global appeal with a consistently personal experience.
According to her strategy, once you have established your overall voice and built a strong core foundation for how your business engages on a grand scale, you should empower your regional representatives to speak with your voice directly to their communities. By giving them the ability to speak for the brand on a local level, you can keep a global consistency while developing something unique and engaging for the many audiences who wish to connect with your brand.

In This Episode
