Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) rely heavily on brand recommendations, mentions, and citations within AI-generated answers. Employee advocacy directly feeds these artificial intelligence models by distributing highly trusted, human-sounding employee-generated content (EGC) across social channels and communities like LinkedIn and Reddit.We are joined by Gabrielle Herrera, Leader of Community Growth at HubSpot, who details her fascinating journey taking HubSpot's employee advocacy initiative from a 12-person pilot program to a global framework accessible to over 9,000 employees. Gabrielle shares how her extensive experience at the intersection of customer marketing, scaling growth, and global email strategy helped her design a sustainable roadmap for widespread workforce adoption.Throughout our chat, Gabrielle outlines why traditional SEO is evolving into Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), making decentralized community conversations across LinkedIn and Reddit vital for brand survival. She offers a masterclass on why customer success teams make the ultimate pilot testing ground, how to provide actionable content structure without destroying employee authenticity, and the continuous battle between deep-link attribution tracking and social algorithm health. Listeners will walk away with an exact understanding of how to move past uniform "lazy copy" and create an enablement framework that fosters intrinsic creator motivation, driving real enterprise growth.Resources:Want to know how your employee advocacy strategy really stacks up?

Employee advocacy is more than asking your team to share company posts on LinkedIn.For B2B organisations, the real opportunity is using employee advocacy, LinkedIn Company Pages and social media strategy to build trust before buyers are ready to speak to sales.In this episode of Social Media for B2B Growth, Michelle J Raymond is joined by Colin Day from Oktopost to explore why B2B brands need to move beyond content distribution and start treating social media as part of their go-to-market strategy.If your employee advocacy programme is focused only on more reach, more shares or more impressions, you're missing the bigger picture. Your Company Page builds brand credibility, but your employees bring the human voice, expertise and context that B2B buyers trust.Timestamps00:00 Introduction to employee advocacy with Colin Day02:18 Why social media is now go-to-market infrastructure05:15 Why B2B brands need to stop broadcasting10:15 The problem with treating advocacy as distribution15:15 How employee advocacy builds trust before sales22:30 Why your LinkedIn Company Page still matters26:30 Measuring employee advocacy beyond vanity metricsConnect with Michelle J RaymondLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejraymond/Website: https://b2bgrowthco.comSubscribe to the B2B Growth Co newsletterConnect with Colin DayLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daycolin/Oktopost: https://www.oktopost.com
Most employee advocacy programs fail because they turn employees into parrots, repeating the same product message over and over until no one wants to share anything. In this episode of Content Amplified, Matt Mullan, Director of Social Media at NinjaOne, explains how to fix that by positioning employees as thought leaders instead of megaphones. Matt walks through giving people industry content they actually want to share, using Mad Libs-style suggested copy with guardrails so posts sound human, and motivating adoption by shouting out every organic win across Slack rather than relying on prizes. He gets specific on measurement: why earned media value and potential impressions are made-up numbers, why UTM link tracking is the only honest metric, and why he holds his programs to a 50% monthly usage bar. He also makes the case that LinkedIn comments now out-earn reshares, and shares how his team built an in-house "social ambassador" tiger team to keep conversations going. If you run social and your advocacy program has stalled, this conversation gives you the playbook.About MattMatt Mullan is the Director of Social Media at NinjaOne, an IT operations platform. He has spent roughly 13 years in social media, going back to experimenting with Google Plus and MySpace, and has worked across industries from an international toy manufacturer to HR and payroll software, cybersecurity, and IT management companies. Matt is focused on B2B social media as his day-to-day craft, and he believes the real audience for an advocacy program is not your followers, it is your own employees.Show Notes- Connect with Matt on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mullanmatthew/Text us what you think about this episode!

Employee advocacy is growing - and that's a good thing for employer brand.But there's a gap between where most organisations are and where they could be. Right now, the dominant model is using employees as a distribution channel. Brand creates content. Employees reshare it. A bit more reach, not much more engagement, and the people involved don't feel especially connected to any of it.The shift - and this is what this conversation is really about - is from distribution to co-creation. When employer brand teams work with employees to surface their genuine expertise, knowledge, opinions and stories, something different happens. Employees are more bought in. They share the content because it's actually theirs. And the content does more: it helps retain existing clients and customers, brings in new ones, keeps people motivated, and attracts the talent you're trying to reach.That's not a content strategy. That's demonstrable business impact.Andy Lambert has been building towards this thinking for over a decade. He co-founded ContentCal in 2016, grew it to become the fastest-growing platform in its category against Hootsuite, Sprinklr and Sprout, and sold it to Adobe in 2021. He built that business almost entirely through people-powered content. He's now the author of Spheres of Influence - a framework for turning genuine human voices into sustainable word-of-mouth growth.Andy and I have known each other for about ten years. This is a conversation where the thinking has had time to develop - and it shows.What we talked about:- Why co-creating content with employees beats just using them as a distribution channel- How giving employees a genuine voice creates buy-in - and better content- The business case: talent attraction, employee motivation, reputation, sales and client retention- Why LinkedIn's AI discovery shift makes this more urgent than ever right now- How to get employees creating content without handing them a blank page- Andy's six spheres of influence — a practical framework for personality-led growthFind Andy and get his book:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andyrlambert/Spheres of Influence: https://amzn.eu/d/0198edDsSubscribe to the Employer Content Marketing newsletter: www.employercontent.marketingFind ChrisLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/chrislecandharwoodNewsletter: www.employercontent.marketingWebsite: www.contentmarketingpod.com#EmployerBrand #EmployeeAdvocacy #LinkedInMarketing #employerbranding

With over a decade of experience at Fortune 500 brands like Wells Fargo, Lauren is a master at navigating the complexities of social strategy within highly regulated environments.Lauren breaks down the exact tactics used to scale Broadridge's employee advocacy program in a highly regulated environment, proving that success comes from meeting people where they are. You'll hear how President Chris Perry's active use of LinkedIn became a shining beacon for the entire organization, setting the tone from the top and even sparking a friendly competitive spirit via the company leaderboard. Lauren shares how her team built trust with compliance by positioning advocacy as a controlled, supported framework rather than a risk, and by implementing a three-fold enablement strategy: company-wide onboarding, targeted team training, and responsive ad hoc support. The episode explores the transition from a “glitchy” legacy tool to a high-impact platform, how to turn salespeople into your most active advocates by directly connecting posts to client conversations and closed deals, and why organic company pages are increasingly losing reach to individual employee profiles.Whether you're launching in a regulated sector or trying to reignite a stagnant program, this episode gives you the data-backed ammunition to prove ROI, win internal buy-in, and scale advocacy from social activity to measurable business impact.Resources:Want to know how your employee advocacy strategy really stacks up?

In this gripping episode of Employee Survival Guide®, Mark Carey and his co-hosts unravel the harrowing story of Adelita Martinez, a 23-year veteran emergency room technician whose life took a shocking turn after suffering a severe panic attack on the job and disability discrimination. Her employer, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH), labeled her distressing medical crisis as an act of workplace violence, resulting in her abrupt termination. This incident raises profound questions about disability discrimination and the obligations of employers to protect employee rights. Join us as we dissect the legal implications of Martinez's case, highlighting the stark realities of disability rights in the workplace and the critical failures in accommodating her known disabilities, including PTSD and severe anxiety.

Today on the podcast, I am welcoming back my good pal and friend of the show Andy Lambert, who was actually one of my very first guests back on episode 43! Since then, the social media landscape has changed dramatically, and Andy has gone from co-founding ContentCal to becoming a Senior Product Marketing Manager at Adobe. In this episode, Andy gives us a veritable masterclass on LinkedIn, explaining why it is currently the single best platform to find your audience. We dive into the concept of "Social First" marketing, why personal profiles are outperforming company pages, and the data-backed reasons why consistency wins over viral hacks. If you have been struggling to make sense of LinkedIn or want to know where to focus your energy in 2026, this episode is absolute gold. Key Takeaways: The "Social First" Approach: Marketing has shifted; social media teams are now the closest to the customer and should be leading the wider marketing strategy, rather than just being a distribution channel at the end of the process. The 95-5 Rule: Research from the B2B Institute shows that 95% of your potential buyers are not in the market to buy right now. Your marketing job is not just to convert the 5%, but to build memory structures with the 95% so they think of you when they are ready. LinkedIn is the place to be: Andy wagers that LinkedIn is currently the best platform for organic reach and precise audience targeting, especially for B2B and service-based businesses. Zero-Click Content: Social platforms no longer want you to link out to your website. The best performing content (like PDF carousels on LinkedIn) keeps people on the platform and increases "dwell time." Employee Advocacy is vital: People trust people more than brands. The most effective way to grow a company's reach is through the personal profiles of its founders and employees, not just the brand page. Episode Highlights: 02:15 – Andy shares his journey from founding ContentCal to its acquisition by Adobe and his current role. 06:50 – What "Social 3.0" means and why social media needs to move from the "kids' table" to the boardroom. 12:44 – The "95-5 Rule": Why most marketing fails because it ignores the 95% of people who aren't ready to buy yet. 18:41 – A LinkedIn Masterclass: Andy breaks down exactly why LinkedIn is working so well right now. 26:24 – Understanding "Zero-Click Content" and why PDF carousels are generating huge reach. 36:12 – The importance of video and how to repurpose podcast clips for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts. About The Guest: Andy Lambert is the Senior Product Marketing Manager at Adobe and a founding member of ContentCal, a social media marketing software that was acquired by Adobe. He is also the author of the book Social 3.0, which explores the future of social media marketing. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Andy is passionate about helping businesses understand the power of a social-first strategy. You can find Andy on LinkedIn (it's the best place to get a response!) or check out his book on Amazon. Mentioned in this episode: Social 3.0: Andy's book on the evolution of social media.
