Brand Networks is an enterprise-facing creator technology platform founded in 2007 and headquartered in Rochester, New York. It is a subsidiary of Augeo. The platform's core positioning is to help brands turn the people connected to their brand—such as employees, fans, partners, affiliates, and members—into organic content creators, and to connect organic content with paid media amplification. According to the company, it has partnered with 50% of the Fortune 100.
In terms of use, Brand Networks primarily serves employee advocacy and employee-generated content (EGC) programs. Employee advocacy refers to employees sharing company content, opinions, or insights on social media; employee-generated content refers to original content created by employees in their own voice. The platform supports brands in activating many types of creators, including corporate employees, retail store staff, franchisees, affiliates, loyalty program members, and others, and is not limited to employee groups.
Main capabilities:

According to the company, it is the first API partner for native TikTok publishing.
- AI brand safety and compliance: Every piece of creator content is scanned by AI before publishing to check copy, visual elements, hashtags, FTC requirements, industry-specific compliance rules (financial, healthcare, alcohol), music licensing, and tone. Human review workflows can be layered on top of the AI checks.
