How employee advocacy turns your dealer into brand ambassadors

For companies that sell through dealers or partner networks, social media is a powerful way to amplify brand reach and drive sales. However, getting partners to actively engage in social media efforts can be challenging.

‍

‍

The challenge: getting dealers & partners to engage

  • Lack of consistency: Dealers often post content independently, leading to mixed messaging.
  • Time constraints: Many partners lack the resources to create content.
  • Brand alignment issues: Partner-generated content may not always reflect brand guidelines.

‍

‍

How Apostle helps activate dealer & partner networks

  • Co-branded social content – Dealers receive high-quality, branded content tailored for local marketing.
  • One-click social sharing – Partners can easily share approved content without extra effort.
  • Gamification & incentives – Reward active dealers who engage in Employee Advocacy.

‍

‍

Outcome

A structured approach to dealer social media marketing, ensuring consistent branding while expanding organic reach.
