Your employees are your most powerful marketing channel
Most businesses spend a lot of time thinking about how they show up externally.
Their website.
Their campaigns.
Their LinkedIn posts that have been “lightly tweaked” 14 times.
And all of that matters, but while you’re perfecting your messaging, something else is happening.
Your employees are out there… freelancing your brand.
The hardest part of branding isn’t creativity. It’s decision-making
This is because decisions are uncomfortable
They involve trade-offs, involve disagreement, and they involve someone in the room having to say, “we’re not doing that.”
That’s where things slow down. So instead, businesses default to safer language. Broader positioning. Slightly diluted messaging that keeps everyone happy… and no one particularly interested.
