Our employees are our greatest brand advocates and, in many ways, positioned as trust-worthy experts to our customers. We knew that in today’s world, our employees needed a social media “permission slip” as an encouragement to engage with the brand on social media. Once that door was propped open for our employees to get involved with the brand on social media, we began building employee spotlights into every strategic opportunity to let the voices of our very own employees carry out the brand messaging.
