Business Challenge

Despite producing high-quality thought-leadership articles, FinMkt observed minimal engagement when content was distributed solely through its corporate LinkedIn page. Marketing Manager, Ashok Vardhan Kore noted:

“The standard way of distributing our thought-leadership articles was getting minimal traction. We wanted to encourage our employees to share their expertise in the public domain.”

Time constraints were the primary barrier: nearly 80% of LinkedIn users report that they do not generate content because of the effort required to draft and publish posts.

 

Solution

In March 2025, FinMkt deployed Skail, enabling employees to create, refine, and publish LinkedIn posts in just a few clicks while preserving individual tone.

 

Key platform capabilities included:

• AI-assisted drafting and editing

• Tone-preservation to maintain each author’s voice

• Real-time performance analytics

• Employee gamification through leaderboards

Ashok confirmed the impact:

“Skail has made it easy for employees to post their own thought leadership without losing their unique voice.”
