“The more people feel developed and invested in, the more apt they are to have higher engagement, higher retention, positivity about the company, and to be advocates for the company. Firstup offers that for us. It’s been revolutionary.”

Jill Pace

Director of Talent Development

"By having an enterprise-wide communications platform, we’re saving about $100,000 a year we would have spent on a SharePoint developer. Then there’s the time savings for my team, because we’re not posting duplicative information in multiple places."

Alexis Tragos

Senior Director of Corporate Communications

"The Firstup platform lets us reach 120,000 employees across 7 states. We can target campaigns, measure impact, and finally meet people where they are."
