Community-led growth

Category: Customer marketing
Community-led growth is a go-to-market approach that builds engagement, loyalty, and advocacy through active participation in brand-owned or peer-to-peer communities. Instead of relying solely on paid or outbound channels, it cultivates organic awareness and trust.

In B2B marketing, communities can take the form of user groups, forums, or virtual events where professionals share best practices and insights. They nurture relationships that influence buying decisions long before formal outreach.

When measured and supported strategically, community-led growth becomes a powerful retention and acquisition lever, turning satisfied customers into vocal advocates and product evangelists.
