Unlocking the Potential of Employee-Generated Content

Authenticity and relatability are highly valued by online audiences. Traditional methods of promoting brands and attracting customers are evolving when it comes to digital marketing. At Rooted Web, we understand the importance of staying ahead of the curve and utilizing innovative strategies. One powerful approach we recommend is Employee Generated Content (EGC). This strategy involves encouraging employees to create and share content highlighting their experiences, insights and perspectives within your organization. 

Why is EGC Important for Digital Marketing? 

Authenticity: Research shows that 90 percent of consumers say authenticity is important when deciding which brands to support. By leveraging EGC, you can bring an authentic voice to your digital marketing efforts. Employees sharing their unique stories and perspectives provide an honest and genuine representation of your brand, which resonates with your audience and builds trust. 

Credibility and Relatability: Potential customers often trust the opinions and experiences of real people within your organization more than corporate messaging. Studies show that 92 percent of consumers turn to people they know for referrals above any other source. With EGC, you can add credibility to your brand and create relatability by allowing your employees to share their insights and experiences. This humanizes your brand and will enable customers to connect with real individuals within your organization. 

Expanded Reach: EGC can significantly amplify your brand’s reach and exposure. When employees share their content on their personal social media accounts or professional networks, it exposes your brand to wider audiences, including potential customers who may not have been previously aware of your offerings. This expanded reach helps increase brand visibility and attract new customers.
