Who owns Advocacy in your company?


Can you tell me who owns (i.e. controls, operationalizes, coordinates, and executes) advocacy programs in your company?

I put together a little survey on LinkedIn if you want to answer there.

Or you can just reply to this email with who owns it (Marketing, Sales, CS, other?)

I'll share the results with you.

Thanks!

~ Lincoln

BTW: If no one owns it, or ownership is spread across departments, or you don't have a formal Advocacy program, let me know in the comments on that LinkedIn post or in your email reply.
