1. Boost Post
Employee Advocacy programs typically focus on empowering employees to create their own authentic content, to develop personal brands and build up their professional network.
This provides an incredible opportunity for both employers and employees.
But what about increasing engagement on your company profile?
We’ve got you. π€
DSMN8 developed ‘boost post’ after one of our clients noticed low engagement on their LinkedIn page.
There are two main reasons this happens:
- The LinkedIn Algorithm doesn’t prioritize company pages.
- Employees don’t see the content when scrolling their LinkedIn feed, especially if they follow a lot of accounts.
What’s the solution?
Boost Post. π
It enables users to like and share your company LinkedIn posts, all within DSMN8.
Employees don’t even need to open LinkedIn to find your content! π
If you want employees to engage with your latest LinkedIn post, boost post is the way.
And it’s not just for company pages!
You can boost posts from employees too. Many of our clients use it for boosting content from their most influential team members, e.g. the CEO.
Why use Boost Post?
- It gives your company page a step-up in the algorithm, especially if employees engage early.
- Provides social proof for your business.
- Support your marketing team, who spend a lot of time creating company content!
- Ensure that all employees see the latest company announcements, and content from your leadership team.
2. Multiple Post Images & Captions
The last thing you want is everyone sharing identical posts. π«
That’s why we enable you to upload multiple images and captions for every piece of content.
How does it work?
Well, content admins can choose up to 5 images and create 5 captions for your content.
You can even set different captions for different teams, ensuring you target the right personas for your marketing campaigns. π
When employees go to share the content, they can swipe through each image and caption to choose the ones they like most.
And that’s not all π
Let’s say you’re sharing an article. With DSMN8, you can also add 5 different titles and descriptions to the preview card that shows up on social media.
This means for every piece of content, there are 125 different post combinations!
Short on time? β°
DSMN8 can now generate alternate captions and titles for you, all thanks to our AI Assistant Tool.
It’s really important to edit AI-generated captions to make sure they’re accurate and on-brand, but they do provide a great starting point for you!
3. Leaderboards
One of the key features of DSMN8 our clients love is the leaderboards.
Not only do leaderboards make participation more fun, but they also foster friendly competition among employees! π

5. Content Segmentation
This one is especially popular among large businesses that operate in different regions. π
If your marketing team produce content in English and Spanish for example, it’s crucial to segment it.
Otherwise, employees will have to scroll through content that wasn’t intended for them! π«
And it’s not limited to just language or region.
You can segment content by department or team, e.g. sales, marketing, engineering, HR…
Or even get more precise, with tailored content for specific individuals to share, such as your C-Suite leadership team. π
This provides a personalized experience for all employees, making sure that they only see content that is relevant to them, and their audience.
It’s super handy for analytics tracking too, as admins can see which teams are generating the most reach and engagement for the company. π₯
6. Smart Scheduling

We’ve got you. π
Thanks to the power of AI, DSMN8’s Smart Scheduling feature picks the optimal time to share your content, ensuring that it reaches your audience when they’re most likely to engage with it.
This saves you time, and takes the guesswork out of content scheduling! A win-win. π

The best content creators know that maintaining a regular schedule is the key to success. As you’re growing an audience, they’ll want to know when to expect content from you.
Going on holiday? Auto-scheduling allows you to maintain your content publishing schedule while you’re away! π₯
