The Power of Employee Generated Content (EGC)

Just as how user-generated content encourages an organic reach of your brand message, similarly, Employee Generated Content (EGC) brings out an authentic brand image by presenting an insiders’ perspective. This provides credibility that consumers are looking for as EGC reflects flexibility and a boldly transparent company that encourages their employees to tell their professional stories in their own words.

So it’s time to give your employees permission and tools to help suggest and carry out your content marketing strategy.

Here at Script Consultants, we’ll show you why you should get on board with EGC.

Organizations can benefit from employees sharing behind the scenes details of the company’s culture and camaraderie. Ultimately, EGC will come across as strong and genuine as employees become the face of the company by sharing about their expertise and how they are part of a family rather than just a small cog in the organizational machine.
