To launch employee advocacy: set goals, choose a platform, draft 5–10 approved posts, invite employees, run a kickoff, connect LinkedIn, celebrate first shares, and review metrics in week one. Most B2B teams complete this in under seven days with self-serve tools.

Before launch

Define KPIs, get leadership buy-in, select content themes, assign an advocacy owner in marketing, and configure your advocacy platform (org, roles, billing after trial).

Launch week

Publish approved posts, send employee invites, host a 15-minute kickoff, help first 5 employees connect LinkedIn and share, post a leaderboard or shout-out in Slack/Teams.

Week 2 and beyond

Review participation, add fresh posts weekly, retire stale content, and share wins with leadership. See also our downloadable checklist template.
