No matter the configuration, a well-trained in-house content marketing team is a competitive advantage. But what makes a team exceptional? It is all in how you grow it. Hi, I'm Cally, from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. Here are five tools and a few tips to help in those efforts. Encourage self-education Training should be done on what qualifies as really good content and what is mediocre. A favorite tool for this is Zest.is. It is a content moderationplatform that uses a community-based system (called a “tribe”) to weed out the content that isn't going to get the level of attention you want. Share and curate knowledge Everyone knows a good content marketing team shares content with its audience; it also shares content among the members. Smarp is a knowledge-sharing and content-curation app. It includes employee-driven content curation and development, a news feed that makes it easy to see what is being shared within your company, and a custom company directory of content. Encourage them to play Content marketing is integrated into lots of marketing areas, including search engine optimization and social media marketing. Your content team needs to be aware of what keyword research is, how to put together optimized content and target search queries, and how to create content that gets shared on social media. Hence, training your content team in basic SEO and social media is important. You don't need to train them in the technical SEO tasks, but ensure that they learn important terminology and concepts. Google Analytics Build a separate content marketing dashboard using Google Analytics to allow your team to quickly see how articles perform and learn from their success and failures. Stop, collaborate, and listen Collaboration is important with content marketing teams. But a certain amount of access and incorporation into the content process should be done for all the departments in your organization. Why? Because a strong team works together and marketing is a collaborative effort. There are many tools for this, but CoSchedule is the perfect app for this purpose. Not only does it allow you to plan your editorial calendar and schedule social media, it is also an easy way to keep your team on the same page.

Roope Heinila is the CEO at Smarp – a saas scaleup disrupting the global market for employee engagement and communications. We explored Roope's learnings during a difficult first 18 months as an entrepreneur a decade ago, when only his Granny's loan enabled the company to survive! We examined the rationale for Smarp's pivot from edtech to employee engagement and advocacy. And we discussed how Smarp has developed and prioritised a learning culture across the entire organisation. Finally, we discussed the dramatic changes resulting from the covid pandemic - with organisations needing to find an effective and targeted way to communicate with globally dispersed workforces in a targeted manner - which have massively increased demand for Smarp's solution from large international enterprises like Amazon and the "Big Four" consulting firms.

In this very special episode of The Comms Shift, we’re introducing not just one, but two new voices to the podcast! Firstly, this marks the first episode hosted by me, Aleks, Product Marketing Manager at Smarp. For a long time now, our CMO Bruno has been hosting The Comms Shift. The two of us have so many conversations around Employee Communications (with each other as well as the amazing comms professionals we work with), that a transition to co-hosting the show just made sense. Secondly, and more importantly, I’m more than excited to introduce Jill Christensen to our Comms Shift listeners! A former Fortune 500 business executive with a Six Sigma Green Belt, Jill Christensen understands how organizations operate, and what they need to do differently to attract, retain, and engage employees. Her best-selling book, If Not You, Who?, outlines, among other things, the clear benefits linked to an open, honest and authentic communications culture. Thanks to her status as a Top 101 Employee Engagement Influencer, Jill has worked in 20 industries, partnering with the best and brightest leaders around the world to improve productivity, retention, and revenue growth through re-engaging employees with effective, authentic communications. In this episode, me and Jill chat about: - Her decision to move from corporate executive to consultant and speaker. - The benefits of communicating authentically… and the cost of not doing so. - Examples of organizations and executives doing comms the right way. - What to do to fix comms in an organization struggling with transparency in their comms. - How comms pros can directly show their impact on bottom-line results. - What we can ALL do to become a bit more authentic when communicating. I know I had a lot of fun chatting with her, and I hope you’ll have just as much fun listening. There is a little something for everyone in this episode, so settle into your commute and have a listen!

In this episode Bruno Bin the CMO at Smarp gives us a behind the scenes look at some of the changes his team have made that led to an explosion in their ARR pipeline.

As part of my job as CMO at Smarp, I get to talk to a lot of smart internal communications, employee engagement and experience folks. Over time, I've become completely obsessed with the profession. I'm lucky enough to be a part of a lot of insightful conversations and this one is no different. Given the current reality we're all living in due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I invited my friend and IC expert, Mike Klein, to join the podcast for the second time and discuss the immediate, mid and long term implications of the current crisis on the IC profession. Mike has been in internal comms for over 20 years. He’s held in-house roles at companies such as Shell, VEON and Cargill, he’s the author of ‘From Lincoln to LinkedIn’ and nowadays runs ‘Changing the Terms’ out of The Netherlands. I’m happy to say, Mike has also recently joined the Smarp Strategic Services team to develop and deliver innovative services for our enterprise platform customers. If you’re currently working in this space and looking for insights on why this new found 'Remote IC' is here to stay, this one is for you. Grab a coffee and enjoy this 20-min conversation with the one and only, Mike Klein.

The Auburn University football stadium sits in the middle of campus, the mecca of a small college town. As part of the tradition-rich Southeastern Conference, Auburn takes pride in being a “football school”. This year, something changed. The men’s basketball team experienced its first-ever NCAA Tournament Final Four appearance, and suddenly Auburn became a basketball school. We sat down with Breanna Perkins, an Auburn alum & content marketing coordinator, to talk about this paradigm shift and how a vision led to a new level of fan engagement, on our series, Here’s What I Know. Head Coach Bruce Pearl has been at Auburn since 2014, slowly building a sustainable basketball program not just through recruiting, but by engaging with marketing classes and community and alumni events – fully immersing himself into the university's culture and weaving Auburn basketball as an important thread within it. “I can’t think of Auburn Basketball without Bruce Pearl, that is what he has done for me,” Perkins said. Winning teams and organizations create buzz around success, events and ultimately their vision. This heightened engagement brings in more “fans” and ultimately influencers, leading to increased followers on social media and overall organic brand growth. Auburn was able to add more than 40,000 new followers to the men’s basketball Instagram account during the 2019 NCAA Basketball Tournament alone. Organizations can utilize their employees and partners to be advocates for their brand, similar to Auburn alumni Tim Cook and Octavia Spencer advocating to their networks on behalf of the University. Social selling platforms like Smarp and Sociabble are strong tools that provide employees with a custom library of content they can easily share out to their followers. When your own team is engaged in your success, their network becomes a natural extension of your growth and messaging, and ultimately - fans.

Hey everyone! In today’s episode, I share the mic with Mikael Lauharanta, Co-Founder and COO of Smarp, a leading employment engagement and advocacy platform.   Tune in to hear how Smarp went from a social media consulting business to its current business model, how they help employees engage better with both internal and external communication, and how they increased their reach significantly through content marketing and SEO.

Websites have been around as long as emails, and have been declared dead as many times. But they still hang in there and any company does need to have one. How do you design and build an effective website for your organisation? I've had a chat with Keren Lerner of Top Left Design, some of my questions for her: Why do companies still need websites? Websites are seen as very static (in comparison to social), how do you drive engagement on a website? What are some of the common mistakes companies make with their sites? If someone comes to you with a terrible website, what are the elements you help them sort out? What should the structure be of a company website? What about content, should you have a blog section? How important are domain names? Should you try your hand at building your own site or use a developer/agency? What are estimated costs? How should a site interact with social media? What’s the ROI on a website and how do you measure it? Technology selection considerations - what’s the best tech? Where can we learn more about you and Top Left Design? That and don't miss Keren's poem about finishing off client work at the very end of the episode.

Why is employee advocacy important to your organisation? According to the Finnish employee advocacy service Smarp, there are 6 clear benefits of employee advocacy: - Increase your reach by up to 10x more than a company's corporate social channels. - Build trust, an employee advocate is trusted twice as much as a CEO. Save costs, employee shares generate on average 4 clicks on Facebook. - Engage your employees, 50%+ of employees rank communication and honesty as key factors to drive engagement. - Succeed in recruiting, one third of companies see decreased time to hire, about half find an increase in quality of candidates and 43% in quantity of candidates. - Generate sales, 12% increase in brand advocacy generates a 2x increase in revenue growth. Leads from employee advocacy are 7x more likely to convert. Read the full interview with Smarp's COO Mikael Lauharanta: http://linkhumans.com/podcast/mikael-lauharanta-smarp-employee-advocacy
