Episode 55: How To Leverage Employees As Brand Ambassadors

Carmen Collins, Cisco's social media and brand lead, provides expert tips on how to harness the power of your employees.

A great customer can become one of your strongest advocates, but if you play your cards right so can your employees.

In this fun and educational Social Angle podcast, Melissa Newman talks with Carmen Collins, Cisco’s social media and brand lead, about how you can empower your employees to be your most powerful advocates. Collins, who has increased awareness of Cisco’s stellar work culture and amplified the voice of employees, shares the secret sauce on how she was able to successfully do that through tactics like niche hashtags. Collins even put a fun spin on Star Wars, which resulted in a smash-hit campaign that got Cisco featured in Times Square.
