Why Kenscio Needed Employee Advocacy? – Challenges
Kenscio felt the need to engage and leverage its growing workforce to improve its brand visibility on social media. With this objective in mind, Kenscio approached Socxo to find suitable advocacy solutions. The company also intended to amplify its brand, products & services within the online marketing community without using aggressive hard-sell tactics. Enabling employees to promote the brand for them seemed like a more viable option, that also held the potential of reaching out to new connections online.

Listen to Mr. Manjunatha KG, Kenscio’s Founder & CEO, and one of the ‘Top 100 Digital Marketers in India’ (Pluralsight Digi100 List 2017) talk about why they on-boarded Socxo and the benefits derived from employee advocacy and engagement.

Socxo – An Easy To Use Employee Advocacy Platform
Kenscio chose Socxo as its employee advocacy partner because they found the platform extremely user-friendly with easy-to-understand features. During the trial phase of the Socxo employee advocacy platform, Kenscio kept its employees at the forefront of its decision-making process and ensured that every employee was able to use the platform with ease.

Socxo’s Pricing Model
Secondly, pricing was a key factor that determined the company’s decision. Unlike other employee advocacy platforms, Socxo’s pricing is based on the Pay-Per-Content Share Model, which enables organizations to pay only for the content that is shared by employees on the platform.

In other words, employee activity on the platform and the resultant engagement it attracts on social media determines the way Socxo charges its clients. In contrast, other employee advocacy platforms charge organizations based on the total number of employees they wish to bring onto the platform and doesn’t take into consideration whether the employees are actively engaging with the brand content or platform.
