The effectiveness of freelance influencers is showing some signs of slowing. In a successful Employee Advocacy program, collective influencing enables the engagement of all the company’s stakeholders. Limber offers the possibility of establishing a real strategy of concerted, relevant and collective influence, with great ROI. Influence on the web across social networks is evolving, it’s up to you to get on board!
Solo Influencer vs. Collective Influence and Employee Advocacy
Solo Influencer: One for All
The world of “influencer marketing” is moving at breakneck speed. Influencers are no longer just freelancers working for brands on their Instagram, Twitter or YouTube channel. The best performance is seen in companies that are able to bring together and involve all their teams in a real Employee Advocacy program, like Danone, Orange, Apple or Nike, to name but a few.
Brand ambassadors are playing an increasingly important role in the reach of marketing messages. Promoting the company’s image and representing the brand to their audiences via various digital contact points, starting with social media.
The independent influencer acts in a purely segmented way by sending very targeted messages to their community. Collective influence allows a much wider sweep, involving all the stakeholders of the company for a much more interesting result for the brand. All customer segments are reached and engaged, many messages are addressed to them on a less sporadic and personalized basis.
Collective Influence: All for One
In short, collective influence means centralizing and sharing lots of value-added marketing and commercial content. All of this, without the process being top-down. Because for it to be effective and accepted by all, collective influencing must be organized, orchestrated and steered by managers and employees alike. In this respect, Employee Advocacy and Content Marketing projects are like the glue that hold it all together.
When it is well conceived and well organized, collective influencing transforms employees into ambassadors for the company. It can boost motivation and ultimately can create the “employee 2.0”: the employee-ambassador.
HR, Marketing, Sales, After-Sales, Design, Support Teams… every department in the company can (and must!) be involved in such a program.
