PeopleLinx Helps Power Up Social Engagement Strategies

The Problem: Nearly every company in the world has employees on LinkedIn, Twitter and other social networks to represent the corporate brand, products and services.

Unfortunately, most companies are missing the opportunity to showcase their capabilities, deepen relationships and engage with prospects. Employees’ profiles undersell themselves and the company. Employees don’t connect to their business contacts, and they aren’t using their networks to engage customers, prospects or channel partners.

The Solution: Founded in 2009 by early LinkedIn employees, PeopleLinx helps large enterprises and leading professional services firms turn their employees into social marketers and brand ambassadors. Using the solution, employees can create winning profiles, build relevant networks and share targeted content. PeopleLinx then ties social activity to business key performance indicators (KPIs) such as lead generation, referrals and brand consistency.

Customers include Fortune 500 companies in banking, insurance, legal, high-tech and professional services industries.

The Perks: PeopleLinx works like a personal social media coach for each employee. The PeopleLinx recommendation engine and user interface work together to ensure a positive, empowering experience for every employee. Users have access to:
