The most effective way to launch and run a successful employee advocacy program in a regulated industry is to build momentum first, track meaningful metrics, and demonstrate impact early to earn internal buy-in.

In this episode, we are joined by Michela Di Giorgio Martin, the Lead Manager - Social Media at AICPA & CIMA. Michela breaks down the journey of launching a highly successful advocacy program in a regulated industry. You’ll learn how she transitioned the program from a simple pilot focused on participation to a sophisticated strategy that tracks shares per active user and EMV. We dive deep into the tactics of meeting employees where they are via emails and Microsoft Teams, the importance of leadership buy-in for adoption, and how even the most technical tax updates can become engaging social content when shared by a trusted peer rather than a corporate page.
