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!

When you’re looking for a simple platform with easy deployment for employee advocacy and social sharing, Smarp is a great fit. It is easy to get started (for both Admin & Users) and is very easy to consistently use. If you’re looking for a more customizable and robust solution for this need, Smarp might not be the best choice on the market.

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.

Smarp is a cheaper and easier solution to implement than Sociabble. Sociabble provides a more robust and customizable platform that can be more tailored to your team but can be significantly harder for teams to adopt. Since one of the primary reasons we utilize Smarp is to make social sharing easy for users who would otherwise not do so, ease of adoption is a critical differentiator in Smarp’s favor. However, there are certainly use cases where a more robust platform like Sociabble would make more sense for a company.

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!

  • Smarp makes it easy to see the EEMV (estimated earned media value) your company has generated by sharing through the platform (the Ad spend equivalence of your efforts)
  • Smarp increased the average teams LinkedIn activity/sharing by ~50%
  • Smarp is affordable and often provides a positive ROI when considering the EEMV benefits
