What Sets Cerkl Broadcast Apart?
Unlike Staffbase, which focuses heavily on intranet-based communication, Cerkl Broadcast specializes in push communication with its Email Blasts and News Digests, ensuring that employees receive the right message at the right time, every time.
Cerkl Broadcast’s differentiation lies not just in Email Blasts and News Digests as standalone features, but in how these and other features are integrated into the MyNews ecosystem, to deliver mass personalization at scale, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
Here’s how:
Mass Personalization
Cerkl Broadcast uses AI-driven dynamic personalization to tailor the content each employee receives based on their behavior, preferences, and engagement history. For example:
- Email Blasts aren’t generic; they are targeted and optimized for specific audiences, ensuring relevance.
- News Digests automatically adapt to individual employee interests, delivering curated updates that keep them engaged without overwhelming them with irrelevant information.
Multi-Channel Reach
With its MyNews engine, Broadcast goes beyond just email or mobile app notifications by seamlessly integrating communication across platforms like Slack, Teams, and more, ensuring messages reach employees wherever they are.
Data-Driven Insights
Cerkl Broadcast combines advanced analytics with real-time recommendations to help organizations refine their communication strategies, ensuring each touchpoint adds value for the employee.
In contrast, Staffbase focuses on branded intranet-based communication. It tends to emphasize a one-size-fits-all approach, limiting the level of personalization and real-time adaptability possible in their system. This makes Cerkl Broadcast particularly well-suited for organizations aiming to engage diverse employee audiences dynamically and effectively.
