What if your most powerful brand influencers aren’t outside your company — but already working in it?
In this episode of Talent X Tech, our host, I sit down with Melissa Laurie, CEO of Oysterly Media, to explore how Employee-Generated Content (EGC) is transforming employer branding and redefining trust in an AI-enabled world.
As short-form video explodes across social platforms, audiences are turning away from polished corporate content and toward authentic human stories. Melissa explains how User-Generated Content (UGC) and Influencer Marketing have evolved – and why Employee-Generated Content is the next big wave shaping how brands connect, hire, and inspire.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- • Why Employee-Generated Content (EGC) is redefining employer branding in the age of AI
- • How leading brands like PwC, Cisco, and Hilton Hotels use EGC to build credibility and culture
- • The difference between UGC, Influencer Marketing, and EGC
