    It's been found that public trust in established institutions and companies is at its lowest level...especially on social media. The consumer now craves authentic communication from brands, which can't be achieved using the old advertising (and even content marketing) playbook. The best way for company brands to authentically connect with its target audience is through its most powerful ambassadors/advocates, its own employees. Happy and engaged employees, who are empowered to build their personal brands, want to share the great news about the company they represent; and that type of authentic sharing is invaluable for company brands that, ultimately, benefit from increased brand equity. From the CEO, like Richard Branson, Elon Musk and Oprah Winfrey, to frontline employees in customer service, there is significant value in companies who choose to create a culture that empowers everyone to build a personal brand.International image consultant and best-selling author, Jon Michail, will be a part of this episode's discussion, where we'll be exploring:Why employee advocacy is better than traditional influencer marketing;What companies need to do to create the right environment to engage and empower their teams to become brand ambassadors/advocates; andHow leaders can make the shifts necessary, to create a branding win-win  for both the company and its employees.Thanks for listening!If you're not already subscribed to The Internal Marketing Podcast, then do join the tribe and subscribe, leave a review and share this podcast with anyone in your network whom, you believe, will find it valuable. ABOUT JON MICHAILJon is an award-winning image consultant and personal branding pioneer, publishing his first book "Life Branding" in 2002.
