Guides EGC and employee advocacy strategy for AI/SaaS products. EGC is content created by employees (social posts, videos, blogs, testimonials) that reflects authentic workplace and product insights. Employee-shared content generates ~8x more engagement than brand posts; LinkedIn employee posts reach ~561% more than brand content.
