I had a wonderful experience at The Advocate Academy led by Jacob! The guest speakers shared valuable insights into the world of social media and their successful strategies. Jacob was incredibly approachable and offered great advice to make our ideas more engaging. This course is absolutely worth your time.

As someone who was relatively new to the concepts of team member advocacy and building a professional online presence, I found Jacob's program to be incredibly relatable and inspiring! ☺️ Jacob made it much easier for me to understand how to strategically engage with colleagues, audiences, and others in our niche to foster genuine connections. His approach was straightforward and actionable, and focused on authenticity (which I really love). ♡ Even though I was in a group with more experienced professionals, the discussions were engaging and accessible for anyone just starting out. Jacob’s program goes beyond simply advocating for your brand or company ─ but it’s about building trust within the community you aim to create. To say the least, this program is perfect for anyone looking to get a solid foundation in online advocacy and make meaningful connections in their field.

The best cohort academies share 3 things: 1) Concrete, practical steps to execute to find success 2) Real-life examples from industry-leading guests 3) Engaging sessions for live collaboration Jacob's Advocate Academy delivered on all 3 (and more!) Hearing from Britton's success at Gravy and his practical advice on building a culture that empowers and encourages personal brands was extremely impactful.

This course was full of great info from those just starting their employee advocacy journey to those who have already begun. The sessions had a lot of valuable insights to take back to your team(s) to show the importance of employee advocacy and how vital it is today. Having both the instructor and cohort members available in real-time to talk through challenges and spark new ideas was great!
