Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Customer Advisory Boards are often misused when one board is expected to solve every problem for every audience. Strong CABs serve a specific purpose, such as retaining executive relationships, gathering product feedback, or hosting focused discussions. Companies should start small, build for exclusivity, measure relationship depth, and integrate CABs into a larger Customer-Led Growth system. CABs are one pillar of customer strategy, not a replacement for community, education, or lifecycle programs.
