Employee Advocacy
A strategy where employees share branded content through their personal social media accounts.
Why It Matters
Employee-shared content reaches 561% further than the same content shared through brand channels.
How It Works
Companies create shareable content and distribute it to employees via advocacy platforms (like Bambu or EveryoneSocial). Employees select what to share on their personal profiles, amplifying reach through their authentic networks.
Real-World Example
A B2B company with 200 employees participating in advocacy reaches 2 million people organically per month without ad spend.
Common Mistakes
Making employee sharing mandatory which feels inauthentic
Not providing pre-written copy that employees can personalize
