The challenge: not enough support beyond the pilot team

Many organisations begin with a small pilot. It works well, but the moment you want to scale, resistance appears. Other teams or locations feel uninvolved or do not see the value, making wider adoption difficult.

The solution: an inspiring keynote

A keynote is a powerful way to reach and convince large groups within a short time.

You can:

  • Inspire by showing how employees in other organisations use social media successfully
  • Build trust by sharing relevant examples and success indicators
  • Activate the audience by showing how easy it is for anyone to contribute
  • Create alignment by having leadership underline the importance

Why this works

  • Scale, because you can reach hundreds of colleagues at once
  • Impact, because a strong story makes employee advocacy tangible and urgent
  • Culture, because social visibility becomes a shared ambition
  • Momentum, because new enthusiasm and support follow immediately after the keynote

Practical tips

  • Schedule the keynote during an annual event or strategic meeting
  • Invite an external speaker to add credibility and fresh perspective
  • Use examples that are recognisable for your industry
  • End with a clear next step, such as signing up for the Social Creators team

With a keynote you make employee advocacy visible, energising and relevant for the entire organisation. It becomes more than a pilot or project, it becomes part of how your company communicates and grows.
