Yell Advocacy
yellsocial.com
What it is
Yell Advocacy gives employees a workspace of approved brand content to personalize and share, while program owners can track participation and program activity. Owners can add company news, thought leadership, culture, recruiting material, events, and customer stories. Employees select a network, edit an approved caption, then share through that network’s own app; Advocacy does not post from personal profiles. Editable share kits and network-specific options support preparation for sharing. Pixel searches the approved library and recommends available content without creating unapproved campaigns. Reporting tracks confirmed shares, active advocates, content readiness, points, and activity; a leaderboard ranks advocates by confirmed activity and points and includes every team member. The product lists seven networks, with LinkedIn, X, and Facebook as examples. Live authorization and automatic publishing are not enabled, and third-party app sync is not connected in this release. It is an installable web app, not a native app-store download, and runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The 14-day preview needs no card, but checkout is unavailable. Listed monthly package previews start at $21 a month; no free plan is offered.
