Informatica’s software helps enterprises make data easy to use. They turned to GaggleAMP to help their employees share branded content with their individual social connections.
The results have been outstanding, including the following milestone:
- One million impressions in 48hrs from employee amplification
Data Powers Business and Informatica Powers Data. Over 7000 customers rely on Informatica for their data management needs across Cloud, On-premise, Big Data, and Hybrid environments.

Organic Reach Throttled by Social Network Algorithms
As the need for advertising revenue became pronounced, many social networks made algorithm changes to reduce organic reach. All across the social web, consumer and enterprise brands watched as engagement fell, month over month. However, Informatica didn’t hesitate. Piyush immediately began pursuing new methods to connect with high volumes of prospects, customers, and influencers on social channels.
Fortunately, the Informatica employee base had a high willingness to participate in social amplification. What they lacked was time. For this reason, Piyush knew he’d need to find an employee activation solution that was easy to use and highly effective. That solution was GaggleAMP.
"informatica employees are proud of our company and most enjoy participating on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. However, many employees don't have time to compose their own Informatica-related posts for these networks on a regular basis. GaggleAMP allows the social media marketing team to compose suggested content for the employees. We then provide access to this content, allowing them to share (or ignore) each suggested post with a single click. By using GaggleAMP, we help our employees improve their individual online presence. In turn, they help the company by allowing us to reach exponentially more people."
