Employee Advocacy: Activate Your Team on Social Media

Empower your team to boost brand visibility and trust online by sharing, engaging and showing up authentically on social media.

It’s time to empower your team to become your brand’s most authentic and impactful advocates.

Join social media strategist Alison Battisby for this inspiring and practical 2-hour live online workshop, designed to help you launch or level up an employee advocacy programme in 2026. Learn how to combine AI-powered content tools, smart processes, and team culture to amplify your brand through the voices of your employees.

Brand content can feel polished, but personal posts from real employees are trusted, relatable, and incredibly powerful. Research shows that content shared by staff consistently earns more engagement, more reach, and greater credibility than company pages.

In 2026, employee advocacy is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s an essential part of a successful social media strategy. From LinkedIn creators and thought leaders to culture-driven storytelling, empowering your team online boosts visibility, trust, and even recruitment efforts.

Plus, with AI now helping to simplify messaging, generate post ideas, and track performance, it’s never been easier to get your team involved in a scalable, time-efficient way.
