I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

Firstup had a very competitive package when selecting vendors.

GA is a very professional tool, in my past experience, other platforms had felt very lacking, they cover what is needed but GA has really lived up to the expectations, I was surprised by what it does and then some more, there are still some aspects that need more polishing but …

Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness!

GA has been great in very specific aspects, but it is hard to get used
to the platform. I believe that the UI is very crude, it's not intuitive
at all, after some time you get used to it, but being so great at what
it does is really overshadowed by being hard to learn how to use it.

Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications.
  • Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.
  • Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually.

Cons
  • We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates.
  • It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.

  • I want a drop down button available in all parts of the website on the upper left hand corner
  • I'd love to see major companies that use Gallup Access - might have more of a desire to use the website if name brands are on there

Return on Investment
  • We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing!
  • We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media!
  • Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!

  • I can't give numbers yet but we have been able to split our most recent project up based on our strengths outlined by cliftonstrengths
  • Another positive impact is that we were able to bond as a team, we just got jumbled up and put on a new team so the ability to connect with our manager was really awesome
