Membership organizations - how to leverage social media for growth

Using Employee Advocacy to strengthen member engagement & brand awareness

Membership-based organizations, such as trade associations, professional networks, and non-profits, rely on social media to engage members, attract new participants, and promote events. However, activating members as social advocates can be difficult.

The challenge: engaging members in social media

• Decentralized Communication: Members operate independently, making coordinated messaging difficult.
• Limited Content Sharing: Members may not know what to post or how to engage.
• Growth & Retention: Organizations need social proof to attract new members.
