Community & Growth Mapping For 2026

​Welcome to The Last CM Guide Event of 2025!

Year-End Community Audit & Growth Analysis Masterclass with Martha Essien

This is our final masterclass for the year — a strategic deep dive designed to help community managers, founders, and operators review their 2025 community performance and position themselves for smarter, data-informed growth in 2026. Whether you’re leading a small, emerging community or managing a large-scale ecosystem, this session gives you the clarity, frameworks, and practical steps you need to audit your work and plan for the new year.

​We’re joined by Martha Essien, a community strategist known for her structured approach to growth, data evaluation, and community systems.

​What You’ll Learn: • How to conduct a full community audit • How to measure and interpret community growth • Identifying red flags and gaps in your community operations • How to align community insights with business outcomes • Tools, templates, and frameworks for audit and evaluation • How to turn your 2025 data into a practical 2026 growth plan

​Who This Is For: • Community Managers • Founders building early-stage communities • Operators supporting engagement or ecosystem programs • Aspiring community professionals • Anyone preparing to level up their community strategy in 2026

As the year closes, many community leaders overlook the importance of structured reflection. This masterclass gives you the tools to understand what worked, what didn’t, and how to improve. The clearer your audit, the stronger your direction for 2026.

​Key Focus Areas: • Community audit framework • Growth metrics vs vanity metrics • Member behavior analysis • Engagement mapping • Community–business alignment • Planning and goal-setting for 2026 • Tools, dashboards, and audit templates
