What differentiates Workforce Marketing from
social media campaigns is a focus on resonance.
Workforce
Marketing
Impact
=
Resonance x Reach
Cost x Effort
Making the brand meaningful to
employees makes it easier for them to
share the brand with their networks.
Because employees are up to 6x
more trusted than company
spokespeople (2013 Edelman
Trust Barometer), getting heard
becomes easier.
Reach without resonance?
That’s spam.
Resonance gets employees to
self-identify with the message,
making branding programs
more sustainable and driving
down overall costs.

Case study: Oil & Gas
Why it works:
Our opt-in approach modeled exactly
how to use LinkedIn to solve a
specific, important challenge for
employees, with no distractions.
Ajax was approached by a major oil and gas
company to help it use LinkedIn to recruit more
efficiently. Ajax assessed employee brand
ambassadorship, across both recruiters and
non-recruiters, and then implemented a 3-step
program to engage employees. We achieved the
following:
• Voluntary use of brand messaging up 907%
• Voluntary use of LinkedIn summaries/
current job descriptions up 268%
• Voluntary use of keywords up 85%
• Voluntary use of résumé jargon down 224%

Case study: eCommerce
Our data showed employees why brand advocacy is
important, and how it could help them day-to-day. Getting
buy-in on suggestions on how to use and optimize their
LinkedIn profiles—such as writing a client-focused
summary—flowed naturally from the findings.
Ajax worked with a major retailer to help it recruit technical talent in
the Bay Area more effectively. Working with business leaders and
technical staff across departments, Ajax:
• Increased overall brand advocacy 67%, from 39% to 65%.
• Increased voluntary use of company messaging nearly 300%,
from 15% to 59%.
