2 builders who never spoke to each other

Turn the whole team into the distribution

Give every employee the same call to action in their profile header and let them post in their own voice, and have the team carry one shared visual marker such as a single emoji in the display name. Repeated sightings across separate accounts train readers to associate the symbol with the company without any of it reading as an advert.


The method

  1. 01

    Give every employee the same call to action in their profile header and let them post in their own voice.

  2. 02

    Have everyone on your team add the same single emoji to their social display names so repeated sightings train readers to associate that symbol with your brand.


What it returned

  • 2.5

    Morning Brew staff all carried a coffee cup emoji in their Twitter usernames; the newsletter reached 2.5 million subscribers and sold a controlling stake to Business Insider at a $75M valuation.

  • The B2B company Dreamdata had marketing and sales staff posting about work on LinkedIn behind one shared profile CTA, and booked demos rose without any click coming from the posts themselves.
