Visibly

@amrith hey, thanks for your interest, looks like I need to add more info 😬 Visibly comes under the umbrella of Employee Advocacy platforms, so we help organisations improve their brand reach and internal communications through a centralised platform, that enables employees to create and share original content to their peers and on social media. We are a little unusual in our field, in so much as we look to help organisations on their end to end journey I.e measure and define their culture > nurture culture through internal comms > leverage that culture for employee social media marketing. Typically employees use the Apps, to capture daily work life, and Admins (Founders/ HR/ Comms / Marketing) use the desktop App to administer and moderate the process. Does that better explain?

@amrith @bevisibly I for one, am even more confused now. What does "we help organisations improve their brand reach and internal communications through a centralised platform, that enables employees to create and share original content to their peers and on social media" mean in plain English? Or perhaps, just give us an example as a story?

@amrith @bevisibly @samrye_enspiral Thanks Sam, comments taken onboard. I'll try again in plain English. This is the scenario...I am the founder of a fast growing SaaS, I just closed series A. I need rapid growth, so I must recruit more employees, open more offices, generate more sales to hit my VC targets. One of the best ways to attract more employees and generate more sales is to build a great employer (recruitment) brand and customer brand. Employee advocacy is a proven method to achieving both of the above. Letting your own employees talk on behalf of your business is far more powerful and believable than communications from Marketing, Comms or HR (think peer to peer recommendation sites, review sites etc - we no longer trust direct marketing). The problem with employee advocacy is that if you do not have the culture to support it (high employee engagement), your advocacy program will run into problems further down the line. The major pain point for fast growing SaaS businesses looking to implement an employee advocacy strategy, is that their growth causes the culture to dilute very quickly, making employee advocacy harder to implement and maintain. To support these businesses, Visibly: 1. Defines the company culture 2. Reinforces the culture internally 3. Promotes the culture externally by employees There are multiple tools we use to do this, including employee culture surveys, internal communications feeds, mobile apps to capture employee generated content, photo and video editing tools for employees, content management tools, integrations with existing tech tools like Slack and Google Docs, ability for employees to publish social media posts, full content moderations tools....etc There are others tools, but I don't want list all here :-) Appreciate your feedback on all of this. regards Chris

@amrith @bevisibly @chrisheron thanks Chris - much clearer concept with that, cheers. My one main question is more to do with your hypothesis, less to do with the product... Can you actually define company culture, and expect to somehow control it? Isn't this very thinking part of the problem?

@amrith @bevisibly @samrye_enspiral valid question, it is very hard to define culture. We definitely don't help companies to control culture. What we do, is help companies make their values more visible, by letting employees capture values/ behaviours (as content) and share with their colleagues. Thus reinforcing culture.

@baptistedebever You are a gentleman.
