Employee Advocacy ROI
Last updated: 2026-06-20
Key metrics to track
Participation rate (% of invited employees who shared), shares per employee, impressions per post, top posts and advocates, and campaign-level performance. Ampli provides participation and share analytics out of the box.
Earned media value (EMV)
EMV estimates what equivalent paid reach would cost. Use your CPM benchmarks multiplied by employee-share impressions. Treat EMV as a directional metric alongside pipeline and recruiting outcomes.
Benchmark expectations
Target 40–60% participation after month one. Employee content often reaches 4–8× more people than company-page-only strategies. See our 2026 benchmark report and ROI calculator for estimates.
Frequently asked questions
How long before advocacy shows ROI?
Reach and participation metrics appear within the first 2–4 weeks. Pipeline and recruiting impact typically need one full quarter of consistent sharing.
