(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nStarbucks is running a pilot program encouraging employees to create and post TikTok content, per Marketing Dive, shifting from brand-controlled posting to authentic, store-level content that leverages worker credibility.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): your employees already have social followers; you're just not paying them to post about their work. Set a simple playbook: employees shoot one 15-second video a week of anything station-level (a new drink, a rush-hour moment, a customer interaction), post it to their personal accounts with a store hashtag, and you match-share to the brand account. No approval process—pre-approve format, not content. Employees move faster, sound real, and reach their own networks. Their followers are often local customers who see the content, recognize the store, and visit. Measure: store foot traffic lift in 10 miles of each posting employee's account.\nWhat that means for you: your employees already have social followers; you're just not paying them to post about their work.

Measure: store foot traffic lift in 10 miles of each posting employee's account.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Marketing Dive: https://www.marketingdive.com/news/starbucks-pilots-tiktok-program-for-boosting-employee-generated-content/823565/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
