### Build an Authentic Brand Voice Through Employee Advocacy

In today's social landscape, authentic voices matter more than corporate marketing messages. Your employees are your most powerful brand ambassadors, with networks that reach far beyond your official channels. This **Employee Advocacy Program Contest** template helps marketing teams, HR departments, and agencies create structured, engaging programs that turn employees into enthusiastic brand advocates.

#### Why Employee Advocacy Matters for Modern Businesses

Employee advocacy programs deliver measurable results: content shared by employees receives 8x more engagement than content shared by brand channels, and leads developed through employee social marketing convert 7x more frequently. For SMBs competing against larger brands with bigger budgets, employee advocacy levels the playing field by amplifying reach and building trust through genuine connections.

This template is designed for businesses that understand advocacy isn't just about pushing content—it's about empowering employees with the right tools, training, and incentives to share authentically and enthusiastically.

#### What This Template Includes

**Training Module Access:** Onboard participants with clear guidelines covering social media best practices, brand voice, compliance requirements, and content dos and don'ts. Ensures everyone starts with the same foundation while protecting your brand reputation.

**Content Library Agreement:** Provide participants with pre-approved content they can customize and share, from product announcements and thought leadership articles to company culture moments and industry insights. This removes the friction of "what should I share?" while maintaining brand consistency.

**Gamification & Contest Mechanics:** Drive engagement through points, leaderboards, and tiered rewards. Track shares, engagement metrics, and content performance to identify top advocates and reward participation at multiple levels—not just the winner.

**Sharing Guidelines & Compliance:** Set clear boundaries around what can be shared, disclosure requirements, and platform-specific best practices. Essential for regulated industries or brands with strict messaging requirements.

**Engagement Tracking:** Collect information about participants' social platforms, follower counts, and content preferences to personalize the experience and measure program ROI accurately.

#### Perfect for Marketing Teams, HR, and Agencies

This template serves multiple audiences:

**Marketing Teams** can launch structured advocacy programs that amplify campaign reach, improve content performance, and generate authentic social proof without expanding ad budgets.

**HR and Internal Communications** can boost employee engagement, strengthen company culture, and make employees feel valued as brand contributors while improving employer branding.

**Marketing and Social Media Agencies** can deploy advocacy programs for multiple clients, creating differentiation through authentic reach and measurable engagement that goes beyond paid media.

**Sales Teams** can leverage social selling techniques, with sales reps sharing relevant content to warm prospects and build credibility in their networks.

#### How Paperform Powers Modern Advocacy Programs

This isn't a static PDF or complicated spreadsheet—it's a dynamic enrollment and management system. Paperform's conditional logic shows different content libraries and training modules based on department, seniority, or platform preference. The doc-style editor lets you embed training videos, sharing guidelines, and example posts directly in the form so everything lives in one place.

Use **calculations** to show participants how points are earned in real-time, creating transparency and motivation. Set up **email notifications** that trigger when someone completes training, hits a milestone, or wins a tier reward—keeping momentum high throughout the contest period.

#### Automate the Entire Workflow with Stepper

Connect this form to **Stepper** to create a complete advocacy automation system. When someone enrolls, automatically:

 - Send them to a Slack or Teams channel for program updates
 - Add them to your CRM as an "Advocate" with custom tags
 - Trigger email sequences with weekly content suggestions
 - Update a Google Sheet or Airtable base tracking points and engagement
 - Create tasks in project management tools for reward fulfillment
 - Generate certificates or badges for program completion

For agencies managing multiple client advocacy programs, Stepper keeps each client's workflow separate while letting you manage everything from one dashboard.

#### Measure What Matters: From Vanity Metrics to Business Impact

Move beyond counting shares to measuring real impact. Use **AI Insights** to analyze participant feedback, identify which content types perform best, and understand what motivates your advocates. Export engagement data to prove program ROI through increased reach, lead generation, and brand sentiment.

Track metrics that matter to leadership: reach amplification, cost per engagement compared to paid social, employee satisfaction scores, and pipeline contribution from socially-sourced leads.

#### Compliance, Security, and Control

For regulated industries or enterprises with strict social media policies, this template includes clear compliance acknowledgments, content approval workflows, and disclosure requirements. Paperform's **SOC 2 Type II compliance** and data residency controls ensure participant information stays secure, while conditional logic ensures only approved employees access certain content libraries.

**Roles and permissions** let you give managers visibility into their team's participation without exposing other departments' data, and the Agency+ tier makes it simple to manage advocacy programs for multiple brands under one account.

#### Who This Template is Built For

This template is ideal for:

 - **B2B and SaaS companies** looking to amplify thought leadership and generate qualified leads through employee networks
 - **Marketing agencies** building advocacy programs as a service offering for clients
 - **HR and internal communications teams** seeking measurable employee engagement initiatives
 - **Sales organizations** implementing social selling strategies across distributed teams
 - **Retail and consumer brands** activating store employees and field teams as local brand ambassadors
 - **Professional services firms** leveraging employee expertise to build industry authority

#### Launch Your Program in Minutes, Not Months

Traditional advocacy platforms can take months to implement and cost thousands per month. This Paperform template launches in minutes with zero technical setup. Customize the branding, adjust the point system, upload your content library links, and share the form. Your advocacy program is live.

As your program matures, layer in additional automation through Stepper, create custom reporting dashboards, or expand to include customer advocacy alongside employee participation—all without switching platforms or adding complexity.

#### From Contest to Culture

The best advocacy programs don't end when the contest does—they evolve into ongoing culture. Start with a time-bound contest to generate excitement and prove ROI, then transition to an always-on program where advocacy becomes part of how your team works. This template adapts to both models, giving you the flexibility to scale at your own pace.

**Start building your employee advocacy program today.** Empower your team to become brand ambassadors, amplify your reach authentically, and turn internal enthusiasm into external impact—all with a simple, beautiful form that puts participation first.
