The Power of Employee-Generated Video Content: Why Companies Should Embrace Micro-Influencers

Written by Amanda Szymanski | April 22, 2024

In the wake of the recent Chick-fil-A and Shake Shack debacle, it's clear that companies need to rethink their approach to social media and employee-generated content. The story of Miri, a TikTok creator with 80,000 followers, highlights the importance of embracing employee creativity and leveraging micro-influencers within your organization.

Miri's TikTok content, which reached millions and drove brand awareness, is a testament to the power of employee-generated content. However, Chick-fil-A's attempt to control her social media activity ultimately led to a lost opportunity and a competitor's gain. This is a cautionary tale for companies to adopt a more inclusive and empowering approach to social media management.

By leveraging employee-generated video content, companies can:

  • Increase brand awareness and reach a wider audience
  • Build trust and authenticity through employee advocacy
  • Encourage user-generated content and social sharing
  • Develop a more relatable and human brand image
