At Brand Message we are serious about protecting the privacy of individuals. Brands and their Brand Admins do not have access to the personal details of their Employees. The only thing a Brand Admin can see is the Employees usernames in the leaderboard and their employees grouped engagement stats.

No, only individuals who have been invited (either by being supplied the link or invited through the control panel, can register to become one of your employee advocates. As an additional level of security, only individuals with the correct corporate email address can register as an advocate.

This comes down to permissions. ‘Brand Administrators’ (Admin) can access and control the Brand’s core settings and add, edit and delete other users.

‘Brand Users’ only have access to the content management area.

Brand Message is protected by SSL and all data transfer is fully encrypted. All content (including media assets) added by brands can only be accessed by authorised users (users within that brand or Employees of that brand). All authorisation data within the database is encrypted and Employee contact details (such as email addresses) are always hidden from other users.

Experience (XP) points are allocated to Employees each time they access the Brand Message platform and share posts. In addition, points are allocated if their shared post is engaged with (liked, commented and/or shared) by their social network.

Badges are non-brand specific and are allocated to Employees when they engage with the platform or share content.

Brand Message is a monthly subscription. You can use any major debit or credit card during the account set up process. From then on your payment is processed automatically once a month and you’ll be emailed a VAT receipt. We use Stripe to process online payments, because they are super-secure and robust.

Absolutely not. If you ever want to move away from Brand Message you can cancel at any time and your contract will expire at the end of that month. No penalties or notice periods.

Definitely not. We don’t collect any card details upfront. If you want to continue with Brand Message beyond the trial just enter your card details when you’re ready. If it’s not for you then that's fine too.

If someone leaves your employment then you can archive them in Brand Message so they no longer have access, but their historic stats will be retained.

Sorry no. Only individuals with the correct corporate email address can register as an advocate. If you try and register with another email address Brand Message won't recognise you and will deny you access.

Your 16 digit authorisation code is sent out directly to your designated email address by the Brand Message. If it's not landed within a few minutes please check your spam and/or promo folder. Failing that please do get in touch so we can help.

Brand Message will be available as a subscription based service. The plans are still to be determined following feedback from our BETA testers, but whether you’re a small team or a large corporate, there will be a plan to suit.

Currently, all LinkedIn access tokens are issued with a 60 day lifespan and they expire automatically at the end of that period. When a users token expires Brand Message is forced to make you sign in again. This is for your own security and ensures that you are happy for Brand Message to continue to post to your LinkedIn account.
