Employee advocacy isn’t just for marketing. You’ve probably heard me say this before, but I had to say it again after seeing this report the team put together. Out of 11,107 LinkedIn posts in 2023 from an enterprise employee advocacy program… The number 1 post for driving website traffic came from the CEO, outperforming the 2nd highest post by 62%. When looking at the top 25 most-clicked posts, marketing only accounted for 16%. Whereas the CEO alone? 24%. Directors and Board Members? Another 24%. If you limit your advocacy program to just marketing and sales teams, you’ll be limiting your results. The same approach also applies to the type of content receiving clicks. Employee LinkedIn audiences were more interested in Company News and Industry News over product/service-specific content. #EmployeeInfluence #SocialMediaMarketing #SocialMediaStrategy

Did you know: Your colleagues’ posts are more likely to generate engagement (8 times more likely) compared to the same posts shared through official company channels. Plus, leads generated via employee advocacy have been found to convert 7x more often, and all for around 1/5th to 1/10th of the cost of advertising on LinkedIn. Following the success of DSMN8’s free course, the team has launched a new YouTube series that tackles some of the big questions about employee advocacy. This one is a great place to start, as no matter your objectives with an advocacy program, your marketing team will benefit massively from the initiative. If, like me, you prefer to learn in a more concise way (instead of reading endless amounts of blog content), look no further. #EmployeeAdvocacy
