Top Tips for social amplification in the digital workplace
Access Guide
About this Guide
Buzzwords, trendy phrases and annoying jargon come and go, and sometimes it's too easy to dismiss what's real and significant as something that will have its 15 minutes of fame before thankfully fading away.
And whatever about annoying jargon, 'social amplification' and the 'digital workplace' certainly qualify as being buzzword phrases that are hard to avoid these days. But, of course, they are much more significant than that, and they're not going to fade away anytime soon. In a highly engaging Poppulo webinar, Digital Workplace - How to turn employees into fans, Jonathan Phillips, cuts through the noise surrounding both subjects with great insight and clarity.
He brings a refreshingly articulate definition as to what the digital workplace actually is, and leaves no doubt whatsoever about the potential that exists for companies to tap into the enormous power of their employees' social media activity through social amplification.
The data he uses to underpin the power of social amplification is powerful and memorable, illustrating the immensity of a company's potential audience reach and impact through their employees' social networks rather than the company's own channels.
As Jonathan says, that is the power of amplification.
We've collated the main points from his webinar into these Top Tips and we hope you find it useful - and if you do, we would be delighted if you gave it some social amplification!

The AI Toolkit for Internal Communications
Internal communication is under real pressure. IC teams are expected to support leaders, shape culture, and deliver relevant, personalized communication to an increasingly diverse audience—all while operating at greater speed and scale than ever before. AI arrives at the right moment. It doesn’t replace communicators; it elevates them. Applied well, AI sharpens the fundamentals of effective communication: diagnosing issues, shaping the narrative, guiding leaders, and delivering messages that connect people to purpose and progress. At its best, AI accelerates drafting, adapts content for different formats, improves accessibility, and surfaces insights about what’s landing. Without governance, though, it can create noise or risk. The opportunity for IC teams is to bring AI in thoughtfully, with governance and human judgment at the center. This guide shows how to do exactly that. Inside, you’ll find practical guidance on when to use AI, where humans remain essential, how to establish guardrails, how to prompt effectively, and how to scale AI responsibly across channels and teams.
