inside out communications: turning your employees into social advocates
DESCRIPTION
Stanislas Magniant from MSLGROUP at #Webit CEE Digital Summit: "If content is the name of the game, the question is how to get it out there? Ask your employees. In every company you have those evangelists that are crazy about what you do. And why not gamify your employee advocacy program - whoever shares the most content, gets a Mars bar!"TRANSCRIPT

Brands no longer want « just » consumers
4
They want fans
5
They want supporters
6
They want advocates
7People who can:amplify your message,respond on your behalf,
create a multiplier effect
8
But most brands are not like that
9
Not everyone can be cool.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be cool
10So here’s the dilemma…
Brands need advocates:
●« Who know our product and services »
●« Who are credible »
●« Who can help us engage with our customers, at scale »

own ways – not always the ways you want me to
