Deeper Connections. Better Leads. Stronger Communities.

Social employee advocacy is the future of digital marketing.

 

According to recent Altimeter data, 90 percent of brands are either pursuing or already have a social employee advocacy program in place. In the meantime, research by the Edelman Trust Barometer has found that people trust the voices of everyday employees more than anyone else at an organization—including the CEO.

No doubt about it, your employees are a limitless source of untapped branding potential. Are you ready to give them the tools they need to succeed in the digital bazaar?

At Blue Focus Marketing, the social employee is at the heart of everything we do. Our online training services are designed to not only give employees the skills to succeed today, but also establish the foundational knowledge to thrive tomorrow.

Here’s what your employees will learn through one of our custom on-site training packages:

  • Omnichannel efficiency. Every social platform has its own unique rules of engagement. Learn essential strategies for any digital environment.
  • Workplace collaboration. How are employees using digital tools within the workplace—and how can you supercharge their efforts?
  • Blogging 101. Knowing the basics of producing and sharing content is essential to any  employee experience. Learn how to post and where to share with ease.
  • Social monitoring. A key component of any  training program is learning how to learn. Discover why social monitoring is so important, and why active listening can help you step up your game.
  • Making connections. It’s not about the number of people in your community, but about the quality. Learn how to maximize your networks—whether on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, or elsewhere.
