When a customer is unhappy, how you respond can make or break their relationship with your brand?

The Worldwide Customer Experience Team at Electronic Arts (EA) deals with some of the most passionate customers in the world: gamers. But something was going wrong in their conversations.

In this session, you’ll hear how EA created an authentic brand voice, how they are turning the tables on those difficult customer conversations, and how they are re-energizing their team and reshaping their culture in the process.

You’ll leave this session knowing how to supercharge your employee experience, boost engagement, and give your people the permission, tools, and support to be themselves while representing your brand.

What You Will Learn

• How to launch an internal tone of voice in three simple steps
• Ways to use your brand values to create a voice that’s true to your brand
• Steps to rally the troops around a new initiative and push back on the skeptics
