KEYNOTE.
Empowering Advocacy through Storytelling
We all know consumers believe ratings and referrals from friends more than an ad. We knew that in order to build an authentic image, we had to turn to our employees, and empower them to share their perspective.
How do you find and engage those employees who are proud of what they do and couldn’t resist sharing with their networks?
Coca-Cola HBC launched Employee Advocacy in the summer of 2020, and in only a few months, the advocates across 10 countries increased the company’s online presence 7 times!
Maya Tsankova, Group Employer Branding Communications Manager and Maria Dinu, Group Employer Branding Manager will share the journey behind how Coca-Cola HBC built a storytelling culture around Employee Advocacy.
At the end, you’ll be inspired to empower your employees towards more than just EB – to share their personal story and grow their personal brand.
