Employee-led content sounds great in theory. Then you ask your team to post on LinkedIn and suddenly everyone develops a severe case of “what would I even say?”

The problem isn’t always a lack of ideas. People may not know what good employee content looks like, feel awkward putting themselves out there, or overthink every post until they never publish it. Giving employees more guidance, examples, and a place to share ideas can make posting feel much less intimidating.

A few ways to make employee-led content easier:

• Create a space where employees can share post ideas, examples, and questions.
• Show different types of posts so people don’t assume everything needs to be a personal essay or humblebrag.
• Give employees simple social guidelines without turning every post into a compliance exercise.
• Encourage consistency over perfection. Not every post needs to be a 1,000-word thought leadership piece.
• Keep an ongoing bank of ideas so employees have something to pull from when they’re ready to post.
• Celebrate good examples internally to give others inspiration and confidence.

Your employees don’t necessarily need more content training. Sometimes they just need a little less pressure to get started.

Don’t miss the latest episode of The Daily Carnage Show to explore AI’s impact on entry-level marketing jobs—and the potential talent pipeline crisis that could follow.

Companies are already hiring fewer junior employees as AI takes over foundational tasks. But those “boring” tasks are also where marketers develop judgment, critical thinking, strategic instincts, and creative voice.

So what does an entry-level marketing job look like when AI can handle much of the routine work? And how do we make sure we aren’t optimizing ourselves into a future shortage of experienced marketers?

Shannon breaks down the entry-level talent crisis, the rise of AI-native marketers, the importance of mentorship and apprenticeship, and what young marketers can do to build real expertise in an AI-first world.

Ever feel like someone’s watching when you’re talking to AI?

DuckDuckGo turns that feeling into something impossible to ignore in its new Duck.ai campaign. Giant, creepy eyeballs start bouncing toward people as they ask AI questions about everything from work to skincare, making online surveillance feel a lot more… literal.

Across three spots, the “prying eyes” become a visual representation of that nagging feeling that someone — or something — is watching.

And then Duck.ai shows up to make the eyes disappear. A pretty effective way to make privacy concerns look as unsettling as they feel.
