    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    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!

    Xoxoday Empuls is very much suited for its purpose within our organization - Employee Rewards and Recognitions. Not that it is less appropriate to also be a communication hub for technical/work-related stuff, but I would prefer for it to have its sole purpose for rewards and recognitions. It has gained a special and HAPPY reaction within me, whenever a Xoxoday email pops out of my notification box. "Oh, someone is celebrating their work anniversary! Let me congratulate this person and appreciate all the assistance he/she provided me for the past xx years" or "Someone awarded me? Great! Thank you so much". I wouldn't want Xoxoday to have another purpose than helping me increase my happy hormones.

    Cons
    Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus)
    • 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 can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

    • 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!
