I help companies build ROI generating employee thought leadership or advocacy programs

Get employees onboard, help them create their personal brands, attract new employees, and drive new leads and sales!

Hi, I`m Deividas Budginas

For the last 10 years, I have worked in marketing, and for 6 of those years, I managed a digital agency with clients that wanted to empower their employees to become brand ambassadors. We have created and improved employee advocacy programs. However, at some point, it became clear that more was needed.

Employee advocacy is only the tip of the iceberg. If you want to create a program that would be sustainable and generate better ROI for the company, you need to create value for employees too.

This is how the Employee2consumer framework was born, and it grew into a full-scale strategy. It helps B2B companies and their employees reach their full potential by growing their personal brands, making them thought leaders, and getting the right tactics in place to reach more people and build trust, drive sales, and generate leads.

Brands I worked with

Does this sound familiar?

You can`t get your team members to start building their personal brands.

You tried employee advocacy and the program failed.

Everyone was enthusiastic about the employee advocacy program only for the first 1-2 months.

You don`t know how to prove ROI of employee thought leadership to your C-suite.

You don`t know how to structure employee communication to get the best results.

Current ambassadors are creating artificial content that generates no real impact.

You are stuck with one channel - Linkedin.

Your marketing department or agencies are creating content for your employees, and you would like it to be done by themselves.

These are the issues that many companies face. Employee2consumer framework has solutions that can help solve it and achieve positive results in employee advocacy and thought leadership!

Let's solve it together!

Go beyond the tip of the iceberg!

Even if an employee advocacy program gets more brand awareness and engagement, it often fails to create a more significant impact. It is because employee advocacy is just the tip of the iceberg.

Employees who create their personal brands and become thought leaders could generate bottom-line results, help with reputation issues, and increase ROI of marketing activities.

This is where E2C methodology comes in – it takes the best practices of Employee advocacy and goes beyond to create a proper thought leadership program.
