What Is Employee Advocacy? (Basics and Trends)
Learn how employee advocacy can empower employees to share authentic brand content on their personal social media, boosting reach, engagement, and credibility.
What is Employee Advocacy?
Employee advocacy is the process where employees act as brand ambassadors by sharing content on their personal social media channels. This can include company news, personal insights, and experiences. The goal is to enhance a brand’s reach and credibility through authentic, organic content.
Why is Employee Advocacy Important?
As traditional marketing becomes less effective and consumers increasingly trust recommendations from people over brands, employee advocacy offers a powerful alternative. Studies show that content shared by employees generates 561% more reach and 24x more engagement than posts from corporate accounts. Moreover, employee advocacy is becoming more popular. The graph below shows the increasing interest in employee advocacy compared to paid media.
