The Challenge
In the spring of 2016, Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), the Indonesian State Bank, was struggling with an issue common to a big company: engaging its large staff, in this case of over 30 000 employees. Geography was a major factor here: employees were scattered across over 13 000 islands, which posed a problem from the marketing perspective. Certain generations were also more comfortable with using social media than others. Those who were actively sharing content on their social media channels were not able to measure the results accordingly.
The Solution
To amp up its content production and spread it more effectively externally and internally, the bank needed to engage its employees into spreading content systematically. Smarp provided a way for the company to gather content in one place and share it across different regions. It was also a way to effectively bring employees closer to each other and prospects. The bank launched Smarp in April 2016.
The Results
BNI reports that the process of providing content has been smoothened, and information can now be provided across departments and regions. Employees are now more aware of what is happening with the brand. The management has been pleased with being able to measure the value of sharing company content on social media. The cost-efficiency of job advertising has gone up, along with traffic to the company’s mini blog.
What the client says…
“Smarp is a great tool to support our Employee Advocacy program. We believe that our cooperation with Smarp will pull out the maximum potential of our employees and create strong influence on social media.”
